    Whew!

    Although the colour scheme is confirmed as poo-brown...
    Good disguise for rust.

    Now the poor guys at Timbecon are trying to fish out the $2 coin you chucked in the vent

    Machinery is supposed to stand out and say "watch out" , it's about the only thing it can do is have bright or different colour to what's in a shed.
    The other thing is that to me it it looks like it's not finished - like an undercoat or primer of some kind.
    Marketing should get a fail for that call.
    They really are some of those most unsightly pieces of machinery I've ever come across. Horrible colour.

    Thanks for the photos.

    I was about to buy one of these Sherwood "Industrial" ones to save doing the 2hp dusty mods myself, but finish looks lacking and I think better to save the money (~$250 cheaper to buy a generic) and do the job better.
