I have my Granma's treadle, an old "red Eye" 1919. Its 9 years shy of 100. If I had you re-do it would I lose the "Red Eye" or could the machine maybe match the "red Eye or just black.

I cant replicate the decals and I dont know of anyone making them anymore. There was a guy that made some for the singer 12 but he went out of business 5 or 6 years ago

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

Absolutely gorgeous. You do awesome paint jobs and quilts. Good luck on your upcoming trip.

Well thank you Jingleberry, I am really looking forward to the trip and hoping I can leave when I want to. I have 3 paint jobs I really need to work on but the heat is way out there and I value my life a little bit. But its supposed to be cooler in a week or so and by then I will be doing body work on my bike!

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.
