Gee Picky picky Brian, As long as it isn't dented enough to throw off the colimation, what differences does paint make? If I painted mine I would have to worry about scratches and I have enough trouble not knocking stuff over in the dark to add anxiety about marring finish as well. Oh well, it will certainly look better all the same color and that robin's egg blue is so pretty.
Starry nights to you, Glenn
No way i am going to use this in the dark...
i might scratch it.

Beautiful work Brian. When I look at it it reminds me of what mine looked like in the 80's. I am a disaster with a spray can so I shall put off doing anything to mine for a while longer, but Oh, the LONGING!!!!
Clear skies and you really do need to take it out in the dark at least once in a while.

glen,
its going out next clear night.
regrettably i might be putting a few scopes up for sale and this one might be one of them.
if i had to paint this on with a spray can i would have just left it alone as i never would have matched paint.

Brian......I use a mylar filter on my 6-inch. It gives a bluish gray color. What color is yours. I figured the photo might be overexposed. Mike
