Cougar Six-Y Goes Dark

Cougar Six-Y gets a repaint of his outer shell.

A repaint is in order, and I think black will look pretty sharp as a two-tone with the turquoise.

  1. It’s going to look great!

    What kind of paint are you using on the plastic?

    1. I went to the Ace Hardware and looked for something gloss that said “Bonds to Plastic”. Krylon, I think it was. I’ll check when I get back to the press room tomorrow to put it together.. (:

  2. I can tell already that typewriter is going to look great.
