I myself have a chair like this and I don't know what is that white part of the chair, what material is that? how can I search for to know where should I go with it for restoration?? thank you!!! great job

[@claytonautomotive9294]

It’s porcelain.

Paint job looks amazing, how did you do it? From a can or a sprayer connected to an air compressor? Thank you!

[@taifei888]

nice work, I had a similar chair, it won't spin while pull the handle suddenly, also jack up not all to max height, any idea that can fix it by my own, it's too heavy to send for repair! thank you very much.

[@claytonautomotive9294]

There is a leather valve that usually wear out inside the base that controls the oil flow. That’s usually the issue when jacking it up. As far as it not spinning there is a small thick piece of metal called the brake that fits in a small slot. Sometimes these brakes fall out of the slot and down into the base. That’s where mine was. If they get all gummed up you’ll need to take it apart and clean everything really well and put new 30W non detergent oil back in. I hope that helped.

Cost to do such work

[@claytonautomotive9294]

I did it all myself except the re-chroming. It was my first one and learned a lot going through the process.

what material you used for fixing the ceramic in the footrest??

[@claytonautomotive9294]

I bought a porcelain repair kit. I wish I could remember the name of it but it’s been a few years ago now.

What’s Best way to take barber chairs apart for re chrome? Please

[@claytonautomotive9294]

Start with removing the back piece then the arms and foot rest. Take pictures along the way so that you know which screws go where. Then the cylinder will pull out of the base. Have a pan to drain the oil into. Then flip the base over and remove the base ring. Spray everything down with some penetrating oil and let soak before trying to remove any of the screws.

@@claytonautomotive9294 thank you very much. The people I bought my shop from used motor oil in hydraulics is that a thing? I’d rather hydraulic fluid

@@carlosreyes5835 that is very common. 30w oil is fine as long as it’s non detergent. Works very well.
