Oh, I thought from your headline that the Constellation had been available in 86 different colors.
As far as which color to paint yours, my grandmother had a yellow one that looked very cheerful, but I've also always been fond of the orange ones. But hey, since you're essentially working with a blank canvas, why not have some fun with it and do something totally original, like a two-tone, maybe with a color fade from top to bottom. | ||

Hey, Paul. Believe it or not, photo number 3 that you have in your archived post is the vacuum I actually got. That exact one. I'm disassembling it right now so I can remove the old paint. I attached a few pics. As far as painting it, I may play around with some color options. | ||

Nearly complete What a lovely machine to work on. It's so simple and shares so many similar designs with shop vacs. Here's the followup. The goal wasn't to make it a display piece, but something I'd enjoy using to help me clean house. | ||
