Many of us have chosen to paint a machine tool.
I'm curious about what color you chose, and why you chose that color.

For the purpose of this survey I've only included primary and secondary colors plus black and white.
I've allowed multiple responses in case you've painted multiple machines.
I understand that you may have painted handles or components a contrasting color. But please only report the overall color of the machine.

Thanks,

None of the above:

Rust-oleum metallic Turquoise.

Reason: I like it, it brightens up the garage, bright and shiny makes me want to keep it clean, it accentuates the “art deco-ish” elements of the lathe and it has a nice 1950’s feel to it.

But mostly because I like it!

Hmmmm.
Perhaps I should add more colors to the poll??
I wonder if that can still be done.

Nah, some guys stick with tradition, some guys want something a little different.

There’s no way to create a poll that would cover every color available.

Vive la diference!
 
I bought a couple gallons of Detroit Diesel Green about 25 years ago. Makes a nice machine green I have a couple machines this colour. My Greenerd 3-1/2 i is Model A Ford engine green. I like plain old grey also.
