Worth a laugh - fresh painted ways on for-sale lathe
Unless I have it wrong, the ways on this lathe are painted! Do you think they knew what they were doing?

There's nothing a good coat of paint can't fix.

Been a few of these posted. I recall posting a pic of a pretty big lathe that was done like this in orange paint.
