Rainbow D2 Dolly (painted dark brown)

When I acquired this D2, it came with an early D4 dolly. Upon doing some internet research, I've seen these with a variety of dollies, including the early light brown/tan D2 dolly and dark brown dollies in the same style. I'm not really sure what might original to it, but the light brown/tan dolly seems to be an odd mismatch. The solution? Paint one! I used SEM plastic/vinyl paint on this one. I washed it and then wiped it down with MEK to make the plastic more porous. I then applied some sandless primer and a couple of coats of paint. I finished it off with a couple of clear coat layers too for durability. I think the result is much nicer! I lucked out too because the paint matches the color of the water basin too.
