It's hard being green

Why would you spend all that time with the decals and not make the machine usable? They are $60 a set.

Rodney

Not for me. I prefer my old model 15s to be black and usable. That thing is an eyesore, art or not.

I'm tempted:

Look at the condition it's in.

That one looks like brand new compared to most I've seen. Most of the industrial models I see have all the paint worn off the bed.
I'd see what ISMACS has to say about that model first. Make sure it's actually something suitable for regular sewing.
Some of the industrials have things like set stitch lengths or are intended for one specific task even though they look like regular machines.

That is hideous. The poor machine.

hideous doesn't begin to cover it...

I was playing nice and using my good words instead of my "Does your mother know you eat with that mouth?" words!!

Mrs. SewNSew

OMG! They used a can of spray paint over the entire machine! Over the body,the chrome, the bobbin winder, the foot... That's so rude.

31-15's are a pretty standard industrial. I have my great-grandfather's. He was a tailor and it was his all purpose machine.
