Oh yeah. I'll use it. I was kind of processing the thought about making the frame a bed liner or Hammer paint... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,738 #130 Posted September 26, 2019 Hammered paint looks pretty cool. I’ve used it on a variety of projects through the years and I usually like the results. If you decide to use black as a primary color, any of the other colors listed in your palette would work. I would love to see a mock-up of the black and copper thing...talk about “outside the box”. Reminds me of the 105th anniversary Harley’s. Always liked those...reverse order though and use copper as the accent color. My .02. Anything you do will be sweet though, that is gonna be a beast of a horse when completed for sure 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee1977 6,663 #137 Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) The build thread is over on My tractor Forum. Photobucket blurred the pictures so that you can't see any detail. I'll put some pictures and some information on " other brands". Edited September 27, 2019 by Lee1977 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,567 #138 Posted September 30, 2019 @Stepney stopped by today and we puttered around the workshop for awhile. Colossus is now down to bare frame, and pile-o'-parts.

wallfish 17,011 #142 Posted September 30, 2019 Why break it down? Or are you just get'n ready for assembly and build? Saw you asking about paint color then a breakdown so thought I missed something. Are you gonna paint it before assembly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly. 1 minute ago, wallfish said: gonna paint it before assembly? Yepp. Paint the frame, transmission, spacer, then go from there. Fit pieces, then paint as we go.

I spray painted a 4x8 trailer with black hammer paint and have been very disappointed. It faded quickly, even with it sitting on the shady side of the house most of the time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll try to shower more often. 7 hours ago, wallfish said: What happens if you need to weld something? The chances of me welding anything to the frame are very low. After I mess around with it some I'll have my paint department throw another coat wherever we've scratched it up. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
