Matching Jet Lathe Color

[Clem Wixted]

Is there a source for wood and/or metal paint that is generally available. I would like to make a few items and match the paint color of the lathe.

Do the borgs carry a close match or is Jet the best source. I don't need enough to warrant a custom match.

Thanks,

Clem

Why don't you take your Jet banjo or tailstock to your local paint store for a color matching? My Home Depot and Lowes have a paint matching computer. Works pretty nice. They should be able to come up with something? Also check with local Automotive painters.

Thanks Scott

On another forum I received a few similar responses. I'll give it a try.

for now its a blue and white lathe.. odd but works well nontheless

I thought painting it would...

... actually make it work better! 🙂
