Well outside it's close but still to orange.

But once it's full of chips and oil, it'll look the same.
it looks really nice.
I dont think you can expect to get anything closer with RAL.
Husky also have different orange plastic colours, so even you nail it once it will not be perfect match on next saw.

I remember how difficult this was when I worked as car painter for a decade ago, we had one red Peageot colour that had 8 different tints.

Right! And Stihl is no better! Buy a new top cover and air cleaner cover and see if they match!

Thanks Tor
I agree with you, all the plastics are a different color.

most people dont care so much about tint difference, we do, but people on chainsaw forums are a bit more picky for details then what regular customers are.

Thanks Tor

you did well, it's impossible task to nail that colour, if I was your customer I would be happy with your result.
You could only nailed it perfect by scanning the plastic colour and get the paint mixed for you.
In my time as car painter, we didnt had the fancy system they have nowadays, we had to use our eyes, pick the best match, most times we had to shadow paint, quite often we had to mix a special colour for that car because our colour system wasnt perfect, it was a nightmare but on same time fun.

Thanks Again Tor
This one is a 372 that was a basket case. I figured I had it completely tore down. I might as well try this color and see how it turned out.

There was hardly any paint left on it before so at least now it's all one color and covered.

if it's like my 372 year 2005 plastic colours wasn't the strong side to Husky, look how nice the tank colour match the rest of the saw! (the same goes to 357's made in same periode)
