Ready to start restoring my saws.

[Jarhead ☠]

So I finally got my sandblaster up and running and I'm about to start painting!
I'm going to first cut my teeth on a Clinton Super D65.
I guess my only question is the proper paints needed to match my HOMELITE saws.
I hope I don't run into any issues but you guys are all here to lend me assistance.

If you poke around here many opinions on paint. IMO Leon has the best write up on his website

If you're painting the whole saw more forigiving than if you're trying to match 40+ year old paint.

Clinton's used several different colors. I assume yours is yellow? Make sure you try to match the color on the underside of the parts as that is truer due to less sun fade.

If you paint that brand C red and green, you can talk about it here I suppose. :{)

It really should be in Off Topic.

Wasn't talking about the C brand as the saw, only that I'm going to use it as my first attempt before I paint my HOMELITES! (Better?)🥺
This is red and green.😉

Well I do believe my sandblaster is working properly! Time to spay this w/ epoxy primer and than shoot it w/ red paint. I started w/ this spare tank I had to get a feel for the process.
