Yep, that olive drab color is just above the filler on my VN12....it was then painted royal blue, then a crappy, chalky white (most likely primer). Can't decide what color to paint it myself. You can never go wrong with machinery grey. I've painted machinery Moss Rock Green, Gloss White, and Machinery Grey. They all looked nice. I actually like the dark machinery grey...it gives the tool a much more "handsome" look.
