Yes that is blue...
She's been sick! The aliens must have had her vacuum up something that didn't agree with her. Me paint her, no I would never do that unless it matched the origianal colour. I found that on Ebay. LOL[this post was last edited: 7/10/2014-21:01]

Yeah, I saw that too. You have to wonder if vac shops or Kirby dealerships have any aesthetic sense at all. You'd think they would at least TRY to install matching colors of trim, wheels, etc. on machines; instead, it seems they go out of their way to deliberately mismatch stuff. Maybe it's a subtle ploy of trying to get the customer to get a shiny-new color-matched machine instead of having to use an ugly, mismatched mongrel.

tbat is exactly why they do it.. make it as ugly as possible to hopefully generate a sale of a brand spanking new machine.

I saw that on eBay a while back. Why would somebody paint aluminum?

Royal did on some lower priced standard models into the 90s that were blue or gray.As to why I have wondered if these used up housings with a blemish that might not polish out or was just faster and cheaper??

Worse horrors are visited on otherwise perfectly good cars and motorcycles, lowering them to the point where they bounce down the freeway, putting gargantuan polished rims on them, wheel spacers so the wheel sticks out past the fender (must not drive in rain), loud sewer pipe exhausts, chain steering wheels, rubber bulls testicles danging from the trailer hitch, etc. I'm pretty certain these people also have vacuums somewhere at home.

DT,
We may not agree on everything, but we sure as heck do on all of the above. Your post made me smile broadly and I appreciate that very much!

I can't agree more!
I hate seeing old, classic cars become pimp-mobiles! I love seeing them go down the road in their chromed-out glory, though!
