OK I have most of the old Black off and got her sanded back through the rust. its time for some spray paint. ( this early White FR spent a good deal of time outside and is RUSTY, not just Dirty)

So instead of Boring "been there done that" colors this one is getting something different. kind of trying to choose a color, Glossy colors up for consideration are White, Medium Gray , a Green somewhere between emerald and Army, or a nice deep blue. Also the old MOPAR Sublime kinda has my interest as well. the Sublime is also available in satin finish ( thinking of clearing it like an old time hot rod "suede" finish) also inthe running for a satin are the Blaze orange , sand beige, OD and black ,

Keep in mind all of the chrome was flaked and rusty... so has been removed and will either be gun blued or color case hardened..


Any one have any other idea's or comments to help me decide?

I lean towards the unusual colors for sewing machines - like your suggested greens, blues and oranges. That's just me though!

Lizard Green or gecko green is pretty much like Sublime..... I think it would go well with shiny Black controls and knobs.....thanks for weighing in ...

I'm looking for a machine to paint. I'm leaning to a bright metallic purple.

I vote for Sublime or deep blue. I don't think beige, black, grey, or white would have nearly as much pizazz after all that work.

I vote for orange/gun blue. Just to be different.

Given the choice of finish on the metal I vote for a medium to dark olive green.
