This weekend I made some progress on the classic carousel. Painting over the pre-painted part is tricky because the paint doesn’t soak into the wood, which causes color shifts more quickly. I now have to apply two coats everywhere. Fortunately, I’m happy with the results so far. I have to work again in the next few days, so it will be a while before I post another update.

Thank you @Anje_Leonoza_Mira On unpainted wood, one coat of the blue color was enough, but because this wood is already pre-painted, the brush strokes show up more quickly and it covers less well.

Thank you @JDisaduck I think these colors go really well together. I’m just not sure if I should have made the bottom plate red as well, but I’m not going to take everything apart again, so I’ll just leave it as is for now.

I think the red looks fine but I get what you mean. 
Maybe you’ll get a better idea when you start to assemble the rest, I think the railings might hide quite a bit of the red?
