Of course, everyone has seen 806 pictures before, and they're pretty. But this is the first time we've had a fully lighted machine in operation. I was thinking about painting the inside of the lid a highly reflective silver in an effort to bounce more light back to the display. Any thoughts? The link is to the repair thread. The machine was not without issues when we got it.

Keep that beautiful stock appearance. My 2 cents, anyway.

But...the most amazing part is, that the inside lights up now too!

It's OK no drawers visible.

LOL at least he is not airing (or showing) your DIRTY laundry!

The pics are awesome... I wish my Maytags lit up like that. Especially the inside.

Wes, as the lid is porcelain, I doubt paint would stick to it very well. If you want it to be reflective, you could make an insert of highly polished foil or mylar. Good luck with it.

Tub light shots...

Lit up tubs make some really neat shots. This is one I took of Dan's HA806 after we tore it down and put it back together again. Why does it look green? I don't know. I agree with Dan. I'd keep it stock or make a reflective insert for the lid for pics without marring the lid itself...

A thought.

We never intended to paint the lid. The spot we were considering painting is the underside of the cover over the back of the control panel. It would not change the appearance of anything you could see, but it might reflect more light out from the console.

Things seem to be going ok,
Dave
