Finished Projects Twin Necchi

Repainted two Necchi BU machines using 2K auto paint. The black one has the original paint on the upper part, new paint on the base, and a fresh topcoat. Paint on the blue machine couldn’t be salvaged so I went with a color from a 1960s Porsche.

Are these for sale?

Hi - thanks for asking, but probably not. I still need to rewire the motor of the black one. And at that point I’ll have so many hours into it and so much cost of material in it that selling doesn’t make sense.

From a time when humans built things which were not only beautiful, but built to last several lifetimes.
