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

I've been here, from the start. :wave:
