What paint for AC saw?

[Bill G]

First store said about $50 to color match and put it in a rattle can. The second could not do it. I have one or two more to contact.

Well out of the four places two could do it and two could not. The first said about $50 in a rattle can. The other said about $58. So @LAWN BOY how committed are you to this endeavor?

Okay, thanks for checking. I’m willing to pay that. Just gotta wait till I have my work bench back and find a paint place near me.

Is anyone else reminded of good ol “young” Tex when reading these posts?

Might want to also consider what part you will use for the color match. I am not seeing much in your pictures

Here are some of the AC saws here. There is a 65, 75A, 95, and 295. Somewhere I should have a 195 but I am still wanting the 85.

A-C orange wouldn’t be original, but would still be cool for sure, that would be my vote.

I seen online there is an orange version of this saw from AC.

75a, I like the orange better

Fleet Farm probably has that paint.

That is Mark Myers saw and they were supposedly sold in Canada but I have no documentation of that. Years ago I saw a picture of a 295 that was orange but I have yet to locate one. I am a little too far south of Canada.

They will have what they market as AC orange but my opinion is drop the coin on a true color matched paint by someone who knows what they are doing.

Ok, good to know Bill, thanks. I wonder how inappropriate it would be to repaint this saw orange.
