Thanks for the compliments guys. It really is a proud moment.

Rob the paints; The green is Rustolium 7400 Alkyd Green Alum. The blues are mix with varying proportions of Valspar Alkyd Gloss Grey and Dark Blue.

1/2 a gallon of the Rustolium easily covers its portion.

I also bought a couple of pints of Valspar GG and three pints DB. Also, about three pints of Valspar Alkyd primer.

I do have a brand new gallon of Green Alum. if you're interested.

As you can see all the interior parts are painted in green alum. including the lathe bed.
 
Beautiful job, congratulations. I never would have thought to use those colours but they look great.
 
Really nice work. That lathe is ready for another 50 years of work.
 
Fantastic thread: What a lovely lathe and also very useful to see how it fits together. Nice job sir.
 
I did the cross and compound slides. The bed was cleaned up with a light sanding disk.
