I love my sweet "Violet" repainted featherweight. Looking at her makes me smile. Judging by the condition of her case, I think she was feeling a bit dowdy and loves her new clothes too!

She's gorgeous!!

Love, love, love Her!!! I want one in Red, too!!

I love the color.

Repainting can actually save the machine. If there is a hint of aluminum deterioration, cleaning it up will ultimately save it from an inevitable end. I guess if you're a purist, black is the way to go, but actually, if you are repainting, what's the difference, as long as you love it.

I think if you want a painted FW then you should. Love the red, I would love to paint mine Corvette Red (the color of my two cars)...Congratulations !!!!

I love the red !

Very pretty. Who do you take it to for this job? And where do you get the gold details to put on? I didn't know they were available.

I like it a lot. If I wanted red I would certainly buy red, no excuses necessary. Actually I was thinking if I ran across one that looked rough I would get my husband to rebuilt it and paint it. It's all good.
