Darren,

That's a fine job so far feller, well done ............. now you've sorted the cross slide it should be better than new   :thumbup: ........... as for colour ......... that's up to you, for gawd's sake don't ask a question like that on a forum, you'll get suggestions from black , thro' red/white/blue to sky blue pink with yellow polka dots .......... all with supporting info as to why that choice is best   :D :) :D   ... but as to "painting it" ......  I'd be very tempted to have a chat with Rog02 cos' his Delta bandsaw came out a treat  :thumbup:

Keep the updates coming please  :beer:

You know Darren after seeing how nice it looks when you get that crude off I'd say "clear" color would do it.  :headbang:  :D  :D

I mean like a clear coat lacquer.

Darren:
I rather like the thought of a white paint with red inners.

But for now I think it might be a good time to get it up and running, see what it can/can't do and go from there..... :dremel:

Nothing done today, been out with swmbo  :D

Paint don't cut metal, the lathe does.

Bling is for others to admire, and you to keep polished.

Great job on it Darren.
