Well, I just wanted it to look a little different. I wanted it to look more like the blue metallic paint on the machine. So, I first painted it a metallic blue that didn't match enough. So, then I needed to either paint it black, or do something else, and so I went with the silver. It did not come out as glossy as the sample at the craft store, despite following directions. But, that's OK. It's not great art, or a valuable antique, so it is just for fun!
When I get the hand wheel drilled i will figure out how to post a picture. Laura
