I broke "First Paint" and she is not yet under my roof 6 hrs. Most everyone knows black is beautiful but my photo with the crane still in package helped me realize the front is really dark such that the Wilesco logo is nearly invisible on this model.
  A few minutes cautious block sanding loaded with 800 grit got me this effect...the nice part about black canvas is small metal bits are more noticeable. The lighting is poor so in case the photo does not show it the logo now shows thru as yellow brass.
