Machine colors

[obsydian]

As an artist and machinist I have to say that is fantastic. I love the contrast between levers and the paint.

It was that Monarch that convinced me to paint my 1945 SB 9B, Chevy Orange. Eventually in plan to paint my SB shaper the same colour.

I chose signal yellow for my Craftsman/Atlas lathe.

That's a sharp looking lathe too. I don't know which I like better, orange or yellow. I'd be proud to have either one setting in my garage.

The orange lathe above and your yellow lathe is really thinking outside the box for machine colors, and would look great in anyones garage. They would be the first thing someone would be drawn to and start asking questions. A little bling on a machine is good. :thumbsup:

BTW....I shared these two lathes on another site I belong to www.garagejournal.com as quite a few on there have home shops. I hope you don't mind.

Hey, it was on MY internet, it's private!

Just kidding, it is already publicly available, I would be stupid to mind.:lmao:
In fact thanks for making the lathe a celebrity.:rofl:

If you're out in public and someone says " Honey, that's the guy with the yellow lathe!" ........
