Forget the SM advise. Let's have a picture of your work bench and tools. I'm impressed and jealous of even the little I can see. From your pictures, posts and advise I think you're living the life I was meant to have but escaped me. Enjoy!!

I have two repaint machines, and I really really love them, they are 221's one is a shimmering green and the other is a beautiful blue, so very pertty. So glad I got them.

Here's an update. I'm almost done with the decals on the case. The case had a hole punched through it that I had to repair and patch. It was also not worth keeping in its original condition. The decals on the case will match the decals on the machine. I decided to do the case first to perfect my technique. It'll need a few more clear coats and the handle will be painted black.

Thanks, I'm liking how the decals turned out. It took me quite a while to get the right size and design.
