If it matters I should also add that the fuel tank will remain galvanized color.

 I go for black and silver. But I am slightly biased. :D

Nice play on words there Josh. Use. Oh yeah. I'll use it.

 

 

I was kind of processing the thought about making the frame a bed liner or Hammer paint...

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

You can have any color you want, as long as it’s black!

 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".

@Stepney stopped by today and we puttered around the workshop for awhile.

 

Colossus is now down to bare frame, and pile-o'-parts.

I haven't been able to follow along closely but did I miss the part where it's built, all together and running?

Nope.

It was a partially assembled project started many moons ago by someone else.

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?

Exactly.

Yepp.

 

Paint the frame, transmission, spacer, then go from there.

 

Fit pieces, then paint  as we go.

I smell confidence! What happens if you need to weld something?

 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.

Sorry about that John. I'll try to shower more often.

:P

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.

SupaDec silver. Good hard wearing paint. Painted the Black Horse and the C-125 with it. Except chassis, axle and trans. Don't know if you can get it over there.

Doesn't look familiar. Nice bright fine silver flake though.
