I was thinking about a white with a pearl gold over it, that would look really good.

I am sure any and all of the colors you choose are going to look great!
Will be waiting for the pictures.

I am fixing to get out there to do the Kerosene bath and and after it dries I will do the prep work and shoot the primer on it and then I will be ready to sand and shoot the color tomorrow.

I have one I want Billy to paint too. I am just waiting to see how many machines it is going to take. ;) It is a Necchi BU that the paint is falling off of. Not sure what color I will want though.

Billy know you primed, but I was really liking the naked look. I always love the SS paneling that you can see the machine marks on.

I could just clear over it but it would take a lot and I mean a lot of sanding to get the casting marks out of it before I did. But it is doable.

The casting marks give it an industrial look that adds to the modern, cool look. I really think you could sell it unpainted. What would a clear coat do? I think you could sell it as is:>
