The motor works, the light turns on but it does not suck the steam in.
Thanks,

Hi Phoenix,

Hi Al,

To be honest I don't remember the colour for the render. But I guess it's something like on the next sketch.

Yes it is a colour. However I coud not find this color on Rockcote website.

Rockcote is a brand. Newrybar is a type/color of the render.
Unfortunately I don't know what paint is used in this blend.

Thanks, Michelle.
