I did the top (green) part, my father in law did the bottom (red)
part.

The compressor was clean to begin with, so after 2 degreasings it was
totally ready to get painted.

Um, how did you mask all those openings in the air filters, Iggy?
What's that? Did I just hear an "OH, SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!" ;)
P.S: Take a q-tip and touch up under the fins & fittings, eh?
And have your dad spray under the mounting plate and where you sprayed
it with green. <tsk, tsk, tsk>

These are mufflers, not filters.
I actually disassembled one to look. I do not believe that the paint
is going to do anything to them. They look like a bunch of crumpled
metal inside.

good point, will do!

I think that it is not really a big deal, unlike your previous point,
which is a big deal.

Same/same.

Oh, they come apart? If it were mine, I'd soak the painted "crumpled
metal" before it got hot and the paint flaked off, going into the
compressor. Just a thought.

Cameras are harsh critics, aren't they? I use mine to give me a
different perspective than what I take for granted with my eyes.
I thought the point was to allow the buyer to have the illusion that
it was brand new vs giving them a sure clue that it was a repaint, Ig.
And it's a one, maybe two, minute q-tip touchup. <shrug>

I don't think that mufflers for incoming air would get this hot,
unless there was a building fire. :)

Yep. Also,

When I repaint something, I say so in the auction and give pictures of
the original.
Example is here:
http://yabe.algebra.com/~ichudov/misc/ebay/Ingersoll-Rand-5820-Impact-Wrench-Impactool/
and here
http://yabe.algebra.com/~ichudov/misc/ebay/Wilton-500S-Machinist-Vise/
(both items are gone)
