Thank you I used a gloss industrial alkyd enamel with a poly converter hardener and a synthetic thinner. It is very, very user friendly, easy to spray and inexpensive. I used the same paint on my Homelite 2000 I'm restoring now, except I used the 2 part epoxy clear coat spray can over the paint to resist solvents. Shot with a cup gun and 28-30 lbs pressure, hardly any overspray. I spray until it looks completely wet, the hardener and thinner setup for recoat in 15 minutes. I can of 2 part epoxy clear coat is 20.00 and I used the whole can spraying all the parts twice, can't save it anyway. Right now I am painting the entire interior of our home, no glory there, but I'm having surgery in a couple weeks and i wanted to do something nice for my wife , so I put the chainsaw project aside for a bit and broke out the lambskin roller and china bristle brush.That's a fine looking machine you restored. Is that a factory paint you used ?
