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.

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?

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.

Grey.  That was probably the original color.  I always try to match the originally color when restoring a machine.

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

I just like doing machines a bit different as the factory colours are bloody boring
