I also have a red badged SL that has the Gray Hammered finish. And it is not uncommon for the motors to be a shade lighter then the lathe.

I found the text from my discussion of Unimat Colors, circa 1999. ?Sorry, I haven't resurrected the photos, but will keep trying: ?
UNiMAT Colors
I have identified four distinct UNiMAT colors in my personal collection. ?I believe I have decoded how they relate to the different models of Unimats preceding the UNiMAT 3. I hope to have comparative pictures on this page by April 1999.
The colors I've identified as "factory finishes" are:
DB200 Hammer-finish Silver. Found on the original cast iron DB200's, this color often fades or stains to a "Champagne" color sometimes with a vague green tint.
UNiMAT DB200?Crinkle?Black?I detrmined the surface finish of this color is a "controlled" crinkling effect. ?In spite of fragile appearance, seems to be quite robust.?
UNiMAT SL - Model DB200 Hammer-finish Green?. Found on the early SL-DB200's this green has a pronounced blue cast contrasted with the SL1000 Hammer Finish Green which has a pronounced yellow cast. I have only seen one UNiMAT SL - Model DB200 painted entirely this color. This color is reserved for the U90 motors on many UNiMAT SL - Model DB200 's and UNiMAT SL1000's.
UNiMAT SL1000 Hammer-finish Green?As mentioned above, UNiMAT SL1000's have a hammer finished green which has a pronounced yellow cast or pea-Green appearance.
