Title: Couple of machines going out for paint
Post by: tkaz on July 29, 2011, 04:42:16 pm
Finally getting my act together and getting a couple of my machines painted.  The V-90 is my first machine, had it about 4 years and its going to be Coke red with a white top on it.  The USS-64 is going to be done in the dark Pepsi blue, and finished with the older logos; I've wanted to do this for a couple of years now, and haven't seen a USS with that paint on it yet.

Spending the week down in NC for an upcoming wedding, so the girlfriends father wants to get some work done on the machines.  He paints and restores cars for a living, so we'll have full access to the shop and paint booth and all the paint we can get our hands on.  Really excited to learn some tricks from an expert, and I can't wait to have them done.  I'll post some photos of the progress.

Good luck ! I bet the USS-64 will come out looking good in Pepsi blue, take some pics. Are you going base coat /clear coat or use lacquer etc... I have  a USS-96 all original with the wood grain, I 'm leaving it that way for now because it in good shape.
