It reminds me of the 1996 Volkswagen Golf Harlequin Edition.

Might've seen one before...
Hello everyone, those are currently my kirbys! The rainbow Sentria II just sold. 10% of the sale went to the buyers choice of LBGTQ+ charity. I don't feel the need to own a painted Kirby anymore so I'm selling the gSix. I thought that the bag went fine with the rest of it, with the slight yellow colors mixed in. But yes the colors are based from Dyson De Stijl.

They asked RuPaul what she thought. LOL.
I actually have a Dyson DC01 DeStijl. I understand what he was trying to do back in the mid 1990's, but it hasn't aged well.

What would be more impressive would be to have them done up in the camo hunting patterns or with sports team logos. Every man cave would have a Kirby. | ||

I just want to cry when I see a painted Kirby. I like beauty of stained and varnish wood work. The high shine and luster of a polished aluminum housing on a Kirby vacuum really gets my attention. Even more if the trim package is red. I really like the look of the Model 519 and the Classic III. | ||

Black
There is a powder coated Kirby heritage that a member has. I'm not huge on painting Kirby's but it can be done and look great.
The janitronic, super sweep and comvac are painted Kirby's. I have a blue super sweep and a I want a janitronic quite badly.

Tan
Janitronic was a commercial vacuum cleaner company Kirby bought in the early 1960's. They had a carpet cleaning method Kirby adopted and the carpet shampoo system started on the Kirby model 562. The model 562 is also called the 562 sanitronic. The sanitronic is based off the janitronic name.
I believe they had commercial vacuums too. The first janitronic was tan but I don't think it had an emtor. It was a f&g setup. The tan janitronic Ben had a picture of but are super rare. There is a thread on a 560 janitronic model. It's a 560 with a cast aluminum floor nozzle. There was two green versions of the janitronic. One had a white and green label on the handle and the other was green with darker green insignia on it. I may be off a little on the descriptions of the green janitronics I know what they look like and have seen both versions for sale. I tried to buy both the lighter green the lady never messaged me back. The other he was asking too much. I found both on Craigslist in new York area and I live in Utah. My super sweep bag adapter for the exhaust I have to use a pipe wrench to take it off and put it on. Its over 2.5" in diameter and I believe the f&g is 1.25 or 1.5". It doesn't effect the performance at all. Les | ||

At some point the bag probably needed to be replaced and more than likely was replaced with a sani emptor and shake out bag. As parts were inter changeable with a few exceptions. The middle school in the district had a Kirby Classic that was used there for a time. | ||

Yes Kirby adopted the Von Schrader method of carpet cleaning. Dry foam. | ||

Yes
There is a collector named dj Taylor who is from Utah like myself. He posted pics of a super sweep with a tradition bag and had the heritage setup on his super sweep.
I contacted him maybe a year ago. He lost the vacuum as it was in a storage unit he got behind on. They were commercial vacuums and were treated rough. That's probably why there few and far between. Les | ||

Les,
Speaking of Justin's Super Sweep, the one with the Tradition bag and Heritage II Style 3 bag setup on it, here's a preview of what will be on my Super Sweep the day I actually get one. ~Ben This post was last edited 01/09/2021 at 22:02 | ||

Nice
If you used a ds motor In a ds 80 body and got a single speed royal coil would be ideal. If you did this no safety switch and a 16 inch nozzle could be used. I have a hepa setup for the ds 80 emtor. The one issue is the 18 inch nozzle is NLA and making one would require alot of fabrication and probably look very bad. If you cast your own nozzle is only feasible way to get it to look good. It would costs thousands of not tens of thousands of dollars.
