Just can't get away from that question can we! [cl It'll look good painted, but not black, it'll loose some of the detail.

Perhaps a hammer finish grey?
Or sliver?

Got a wild hair today and wanted to make some progress on this thing.
I sanded all the wood down. It had been pretty weathered with alot of grey wood. I decided to keep all the natural grey. I figured that the grey would help keep the stain deep and dark. I dont really like light oak stains so dark it is.
I also sanded down the sides and primed and painted satin black.

I got the rod welded into the frame with my arc welder using rod suitable for welding mild steel to cast iron. Worked pretty well.

Tomorrow, i plan on getting the rest of the back together.
I think its going to go black for now till i figure a better option. Black is simple.

I had the rod and back frame sitting outside for a while, now it matches the rat rod oops.








Three coats in. another light sand and another coat to go.





Thats it for tonight. Hopefully tomorrow this thing will be all together and ready for my butt to occupy

Lookin' good!

Here we go. Got impatient last night and painted it up. I didnt do anything with the wheels or windows, but i think it looks fine just like it is. I think its done, cept having to sand down the runs. I was running out of paint, and i was tired, and impatient.
Oh well.

I like it alot! Nice job [cl[

Looks awesome man. [cl. You should have just cleared over the rust.

I showed the wife and we both like it alot..

Very, very cool-I have an old bench like that-I may do something similar some day-I only have like 100 other projects ahead of it!

Not to shabby at all!!!!
