Homelite 1050 super paint

[Boomer 87]

I just aquired a 1050 super its about 80% torn down now. I want to go ahead and bead blast and paint it. Whats close for homelite red? I was thinking international red maybe. Im doing the whole saw so its not crucial that it be perfect match

I restored a few 2100's and had the paint mixed to match. Not sure what
rattle can paint would be close. I did one saw with a rattle can and never
again.

IH red is a closer match to Remington's red... It would probably not look right on a Homie.

Theres another color thats close called chevy victory red. May look into that. I dont want a shelf queen bc i plan on using it but it really needs tore completely down. I have to do crank bearings anyway

Boomer, just remember any rattlecan you choose probably won't be gas resistant. You will need a gas resistant clear over top.

Yes. 2K is supposed to be really good. It is what Leon used on some of his Homelite resto's. You can also get clear in rattlecans for top coating Engine enamel.

Send parts to @glock37 and have them powdercoated... it will be much better quality and should last forever.

While were talking 1050 supers, are the clutches left or right hand threads?

Should be left. Clock wise to remove.

Thanks

Don't listen to that guy, there are plenty of paints in a rattle can that will stand up to gas. Even implement paint will stand up to it if its cured properly and long enough. Ever watch a guy spill gas filling his tractor and watch the paint peel off it? Me neither.

I used Massey Fergusen Red paint to match the original red. Followed up with two coats of clear polyurethane applied while the red was still tacky. This has held up well on all my restorations.
