It's been too long between your updates and I need a fix.
Here's a "mini fix" nebraska before you see the Greenie completed! Second coat of paint went on this morning. Came out REAL NICE! Texture is very uniform. Past 2 weeks since applying the first coat have been a blur. Did a lot of the time consuming detail work, took a few days break, and worked on other non-ShopSmith related stuff
. (forgot to mention a few hours playing with my new ER10 rust bucket.I am on "staycation" this week, staying at home. Figure people pay a lot of money to come to San Diego for vacation so why should I go anywhere?. Since I'm on vacation, there's no excuse for not completing the project.

The paint looks much bluer in these photos than it does in the shop. That's due to the blue sky. Inside, it looks the same color as the Verdt Green spray paint cap.

This shows the texture that is the same on all parts. Took a while to get the hammered paint figured out by I think I got it.

Inside of all the casting is primed with self etching gray primer to keep the oxidation away. Thanks for that tip Bill Mayo.
