All I could do is paint it what ever color you wanted and go from there.

I promise to get out there tomorrow and finish the machine (I just have to polish the bobbin winder and faceplate) and I will list it.

So beautiful!
You talked about setting it in the sun to bake... how do you keep bugs off of it? Reason I ask is we had a truck repainted one time and when we got it back there was love bug imprints all over it!
Have you done a Singer 301 yet?

What I do is after it cures to the touch I then put it out in the sun to help flow the paint and makes it easier to buff out. But on sewing machines I never have to buff them out since they are so small and I can spray it really wet.
But all the cars I have painted I do that to and it makes life a lot easier for me.
