    Tanks! I actually find it little bit weird that no one haven't tried this befoure here... all I've seen is Alan's Model 8 re-painted. Now I know that re-paint a machine isn't that high risk to do if you just do it in methodological steps.

    So don't cowardly out now guys... come on, give us some color now!!! :)

    btw, how are you doing the painting? is it just rattle cans or do you have more fancy equipment?

    My paint store do any color code you want with Standox car paint in to regular rattle cans... So I haven't use any special/pro things in this project... just some quality paint.

    I wasn't happy with the result after I painted the underframe, so back to grinding.

    And then mount the table and underframe together...and paint for the last time.

    Oh, many tanks guys! If then, it's for sale Kwun. ;)

    Back after training and I got 6 rackets to do in 20h so I guess I have to mount the Wise on the Premium Stringer again. :eek:

    My tooltray mat is broken so I replaced it with an cork one.
