I have a Bentall Model OKB mill Abes and the paint colour underneath it is a pale blue similar to 'Ransomes Blue' but I am not 100% certain that it is original, though it does appear to be.

Many thanks for the links funny thats the ones i found, a few mills that look along the same lines but still nowt the same just have to keep looking lol

Well since all other projects are finished and the Autotruck is on hold for the minute thought id make a start restoring the mill not sure who primered it but wish they had taken the top coat off first lol well here's some pics of the work so far would have got a bit further but my drill decided to give up the ghost

Looking good

Abes that is the problem mate .... you cant ! you have to use a drill with a wire brush on the end ... but be sure to wear goggles and gloves and a long sleeved shirt you will get wires shot at you !

matt

and wear tight cloths if it get a bit in a bristle you will soon be looking like a chipendale but also with burn marks
and yes the wire does as matt says you can feel like a hedgehog if it throws a bunch off at you
once i was pulling wires out of my feet for days as did it in trainers
NOT A GOOD IDEA wont do that again in a hurry
