You can also tell me I'm crazy and no one cares. Grey, looks like the actual macine. If it was me, I would only clean it and keep the antique look, and value of and old tool.

Members JD62 Posted May 5, 2017 Members Report Posted May 5, 2017 What kind of paint are you going to use? I would definitely go with quality automotive paint. That said you could go black with gold metallic, maybe some red trim? Quote One day at a time my friends John
Members Constabulary Posted May 5, 2017 Members Report Posted May 5, 2017 Darren - thats indeed a "special color" I guess a customer wanted it that way? Its a Chinese panther, right? @Yetibelle Agree with TacticallySharp - definitely light Grey - sells better "if" you sell it one day because of the more modern appearance.

Members shoepatcher Posted May 5, 2017 Members Report Posted May 5, 2017 Grey. That was probably the original color. I always try to match the originally color when restoring a machine. glenn Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted May 5, 2017 Contributing Member Report Posted May 5, 2017 Depends on what happens after its restored a; for sale onwards - then original grey b; for personal use - dark green or dark blue would be my choices Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members Darren Brosowski Posted May 7, 2017 Members Report Posted May 7, 2017 I just like doing machines a bit different as the factory colours are bloody boring Quote
