Title: New machines...dealing with the dreaded woodgrain Post by: tkaz on April 05, 2009, 09:23:12 pm I pickup up a couple new machines over the weekend, a Cavalier USS-8-64 and a Cavalier CSS-8-64. I didn't get photos before I went to see them, and of course they were both woodgrain! Its really my first experience with the stuff, and after some time in the garage today, I was surprised. I had planned on painting the panels after peeling away the vinyl, but I wasn't sure what to expect underneath. I got all of the vinyl off, then used some Goo-Gone to take all the adhesive off, and sure enough there's a perfect paint job under there. I still don't think I'll leave it white, but it's going to be very easy to scuff up the paint and throw some Coke red on there.

I got this CSS as a package deal along with the USS-64 a couple posts up. Not a bad job, pretty much all rattle-can paint, with not a ton of detail spent on cleaning it all up in the end. I think it's coming along pretty well.
