Chris I have a friend that works for the local lumber yard and he is there paint guy.? John has been mixing paint for me for almost 20 years now.? He is a master at it and I am sure you can check around your area and come up with a guy that really knows how to? mix paint to get the color you want. ??I have been using a Pittsburg enamel that you see on all my lathes that are not black.? On black Daltons I have always used semi gloss black Rustolium.? Well all except two Daltons I did them with 65% gloss black powder coatJ?? This is one of them that was powder coated.? This is my lathe 1920’s TL that was setup for electrical shop repair.? The original TL was a wood pattern makers lathe that ran at much? higher speed.?? Also the Electrical shop lathe has a different spindle nose than the wood working TL.

Darn.? I liked the first one.

I know it's weird, but turquoise is my favorite color and I like the brightness it gives to my shop.? I had some Rustoleum spray that I really liked but they discontinued it.? Now it's looking like I'm going to have to learn how to custom mix paint myself.
