Since I bought my 1984 Hoover custom convertible U4395 January of last year puting up with the rusted old brushroll and never bothering to buy a new one...Yesterday I painted the brushroll! I was thinking of painting it with the normal brushroll colors black with silver beater bars and end caps until I relized I can change it up a bit so I did instead of painting it those colors I painted it black with gold beater bars and end caps! It looks nice and almost brand new!
