Ah, so paintwise you are going down the "too much used camouflage" look then ... |
| awemawson:
To be honest, unless you totally dismantle a machine like this for re-painting, the 'repaint' looks a mess. Just a 'quick blow over with a spray gun' may make it 'ten yards pretty' but the charm is lost when you get close :lol: |
| PeterE:
Of course, I agree. Like most farm and industrial machinery it will get that "used" look and there is no way of keeping a polished one without a recurring stripdown - and that does not improve the machine performance so it is just as good to skip that. But keeping a tin or so of the main colour for patching is useful, as it will make it more agreable to have a machine that looks maintained. I am impressed by your skills, fearlessness and ingenuity to take on that wide variety of projects :clap: I always learn a thing or two for each thread I read. |

Thank you for your kind words Peter. It's reassuring to hear that someone is reading my drivel :lol: |
