780 rescue part 19

After successfully refinishing the skid unit in Chocolate Brown I have moved on to the white areas of the tractor. The paint for the tractor has been supplied by David Brown Parts Ltd., and the actual shade of the Orchid White was, until recently, an unknown quantity.

My nephew has recently repainted his DB 885 in Orchid White, which proved to be rather too dark and creamy for my liking, so I was pleasantly surprised to find my paint to be much whiter and more to my satisfaction!

DASHBOARD

The first item to be finished in white on the 780 has been the dashboard. Some local repairs were necessary before I could prepare it
