Painted Featherweight Machines
I am looking to purchase a painted Featherweight machine. If you have purchased one, could you tell me where you purchased from and if you were happy with your purchase. Of course price information would be beneficial as I am trying to buy one at the best price that I can.
Thanks

I would suggest finding a dedicated featherweight community and post the same question. There are some quality restorers out there that repaint and sell a quality machine. I would hate to spend the money on one and get a dud. I don't think there are any here currently, unless they are just lurking and not posting.

Not sure what your budget is but I found this site. Curiosity got the better of me and I had to see what they might look like. Love the green one!

I have one with a really bad finish that I'm thinking of having painted Candy Apple Red. Most sites I've found charge around $400 for the repaint on your machine so if you find one for $500 already painted that would be a good price.

I went to that site and spent 10 whole minutes just drooling my heart out. I have four black and one white FWs, one from the year of my birth that is in not so good condition. I may give some thought to calling them and having it redone in either purple or bright yellow. The key word here being "maybe" for I have been thinking along these lines ever since a trip to Paducah about 5 or 6 years ago. Money talks, and every day something else comes up that is more interesting than spending $500 on a machine that wouldn't get very much use.
