By the way - I have worked on several skiving machines during the past half year (due to corona) - all of them have been produced in Denmark by Vilhelm Pedersen

I finished this machine a week ago. An old Danish machine.

I fitted it with two motors - one big constant speed motor for the knife, and a servo motor for the roller wheel.

It works really well, as the skiving speed is from 1cm/sec and up.

I really like the green "hammerlak" paint on the Vilhelm Pedersen machine.

Tha Dania is looking good too

I painted two of them with hammerite paint..

It takes a bit of practice to get a good result.

And still, it is not as strong as the original paint. I suspect, that the machines are "baked" somehow after being painted..

I have tried Hammerite a few times and to be honest I was not really pleased (maybe user error - maybe not).

I had nicer results with this paint:   https://www.ebay.de/itm/1411755350

But you have to practice too but IMO it is the nicer and faster drying paint.

You may find it with different brands like RENOVO but thats just the label, they are made by PETER KWASNY.

I have ordered Esbjerg machine paint today. They have a green, that is very close to the original paint.

Regarding hammerite paint, it takes practice, and one has to use a thinner - otherwise the paint becomes a powder.

Are you painting it "Reseda green"  (Hannover green) ?

I guess it'll be spectacular once done, since you are sanding it down and all first :-) 
I really dislike making stuff ready for painting, so I am always impressed with those who take the time and do it.

Resada green is too light (I used that before).

Instead I ordered Thyregod green, which is darker.  

And you are right - preparing for painting is a pain.
