Matt should spec his paint color... make his machines a unique shade... :man:
Having said that, the 'cream/ivory and blue' are a nice combination IMO.
I may have a customer for a milling project lined up... making a couple of components of a gyrocopter rotor-head.

Note the parts just below the ring gear... the gimbal... We were doing a careful inspection of the rotor-head and found a stress crack in one of the parts of the gimbal.
Should be an interesting project... it is made of 6061 T6. I am probably gonna get the parts anodized when they are done... as it tends to harden the outside a bit. Also plan to change the design slightly (this change has been done by others, it will not be a new design): To add bushings at strategic points, so the pivots and weight are bearing on the bushings, rather than the bolts. Will post some pics of this later.
