What a timely question! I have been having this same debate in my head. I recently bought a Necchi BU Nova (black) for $20, but the paint on the bed is flaking off, down to the metal. If I'm going to repaint it, why not a snazzy color? And, with those decals!! Woo wee! I like those!!

I love the Pink! I have an old Necchi that I've been considering painting. I also have a Singer 221 that has lots of scratches & wear. I found this website www.creativefeet.com There is also a link to a uTube video of her painting her machine. I saw her at the Houston International Quilt Show this past November & loved her machine. I enjoyed her demo & purchased several of her sewing feet. Love them. The nice part of her process is that it says you can change it if you decide to. Will have to check it out. I'm going to order her video.

Taboo? No such thing. Celebrate your freedoms and do what YOU want. Respect rare or valuable machines, but even those are yours to do with as you will.
But, you do have to share once you've customized it!
