This how the designers saw it and in doing so you will remain faithful to their ideas.<br />So many typewriters have been vandalised with botched paint jobs. It is enough to make one cringe seeing these tasteless efforts. If we aspire to be serious collectors then let us all avoid defacing the lovely old machines.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02138302382154651383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-58690579564356957742014-10-11T10:10:50.331-04:002014-10-11T10:10:50.331-04:00Typewriter design dictates paint choice.

At its extreme, <a href="http://writingball.blogspot.com/2012/05/turbo-torpedo-nitty-gritty.html" rel="nofollow">the results might look like this</a>. I had fun turning this Torpedo into The Purple Prose Producer, but I wouldn't do it with a less common typewriter like this that has such gravitas. No fear, I'll do something classy.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-14256038951716609352014-10-11T08:19:12.049-04:002014-10-11T08:19:12.049-04:00No Pimping!!!
