i've cobbled this together from bits left over from another build,
i'd changed my mind about re-building the ng frame and tried to sell it on a few times,
no one wanted the old beast :-[
its sat in my workshop looking very humiliated in its scratched up paint since then so as i've nearly finished the other build i'd give it a twirl
i had one of these back in 99/00 and its fine apart from the humungously long back end!
dunno what to do so i need help.
should i paint it or rat it out?
any idea's for colours? would powder blue be wrong for it?

ivy it is!
any ideas for what i could patina the metal with?
will clear powder go over the surface rust?
-
I like it the way it is. That green stem rules!

maybe you could mix up something with a sugar paste thickish and salt then paint it on with a thin paint brush
and get arty,it might take a while to get the rust showing but trial and error.
clear coat should be fine as its just like a varnish.
