This one I'd be hesitant to paint!!!!! Another model, sure, but not a FW. In fact, I have a model 66 that I am seriously considering painting pearl pink and putting tiny roses on her. Yours seems to be in pretty good condition. Sew-Classics will have everything you need to get her up to speed. In fact, I placed an order about 10 minutes ago for various things for 4 different machines--and they had them all!
