Very nice!

Thanks makes sense to paint top covers on these.They look better black like there sister haha

Kubota orange looks good but is not perfect match . If it is an older saw I would leave it original! Most buyers want it this way IMO

I have sprayed it on plastic and it did not do good.

Keeping original color holds resale value

That would make sense, but I don't plan on selling this saw anytime soon. When it wears out I'm gonna do a full rebuild and use it for another who knows how many years. lol

Thanks! Yeah this saw is brand spankin new actually. haha Doesn't even NEED a paint job! I just like the looks of a blue and white saw.

You should buy a Makita and paint the top cover white

I guess I should have also specified that this thing is brand new. haha Just bought it early last year.

This was a "custom" built 066 I did for a buddy of mine. It has a few aftermarket parts on it including the plastics. He wanted the saw built as cheap as possible. The plastics are farmertec brand. Each piece was a different shade of orange. So we decided to paint them.

Good looking saw for sure.

Nice! Well there has been a change of plans folks. I just snagged me some project saws(you can see them in the "Today's Snag" thread. So I'll be painting That saw blue. lol Thanks for all the comments! I use them on this project.

Is is Ford white or grey? I bought the Ford grey, but it is a little "too" grey to match the Stihl colors

 

[mt.stalker]

Anyone tried Plasti dip paint ?

I have only used it on hand tools (wrenches, pliers) sounds interesting.You have a nice avatar.

Pretty sure they are talking the ford white matches well.

I have been looking at my 066 planing the rebuild in my head and would like to make it looks good, not just run good.

I have custom built a couple rifles recently and I had the metal action Cerakoted. Its a spray on, baked on ceramic coating that is as tough as it gets.
I recon it would be perfect for the alloy case and sprocket cover.

For the plastic covers, I have been considered Hydracoating.

Google it....... Very cool!

Now the decisions on what colors and pastern to go with

 

[Brewz]

Or perhaps I will just do it all with Cerakote

I like the idea of blank/orange as opposed to the stock white/orange

Its not a saw but I'm not too sure how many chainsaw's have been cerakoted

 

[wildroamer]

That is very cool! Hey, do you think I could borrow that for a bit? Some Gandy guy thinks its OK to keep my new 550!

That saw looks awesome! I had thought about doing the same thing to an 036 but haven't been able to picture it in my head. That looks better than I thought it would!

That saw turned out nice. I'm not sure that I will paint another one quite like that. Maybe check this thread out. http://opeforum.com/posts/28042/
