Husqvarna orange?

[sachsmo]

OK, OK,

I do prefer my saws original, battle scars and all.

But since I have my 2100CD down to brass tacks (mount replacement) and the bottom has some corrosion starting.

I will try my hand at a Earl Shieb job on this old girl (gonna replace the handle hose too)

What is the best match for off the shelf paints?

Don't want it too red, or it will look like my old Sachs Dolmars.

I have read where Rust Oleum has some "plastic primer" I will get some of that too.

Colors, numbers?


Thanks

I am in the process of doing the same to my 372 and have been looking for the right colour. Here in europe we have RAL colours and the best match I can find is RAL 2001, which I think is called blood orange. I know that stihl orange is RAL 2004. Don't know if this helps.

You can pick up Husky Orange at your local Tractor Supply or maybe even Lowes.

Oh really, hmmmm, even if that saw was built before either store existed


I think husky orange is cool best looking and running saws made.

TSC stores up here carry Husqvarna Orange in their tractor enamel paint line. I have seen it elsewhere too, but can't remember exactly. I only seen the spray cans so they might have to order quarts if you want to go that route.

Never seen the Husky orange at TSC, but if it's there use it. On the 3 I've painted, I used Valspar Kubota orange from TSC. Extremely close to orginal and gas resistant.

They sell it here at TSC. Along with Oliver green and JD yellow and some others.

I do agree! Not too sure if mine was Valspar, but Kubota orange is a very good match!

yep its damn close, you can spray it on husky and its hard to tell where you did

The kubota orange does look very close.

TSC can order the paint, just give them the SKU number.

Wish I would have used that on my 372....I believe I paid $16 for factory Husky and was half the amount. :teeth:

The Valspar from TSC is pretty good as stated above. I did see Husky Orange there when I was looking for paint for my Stihl. They also have Kubota orange.

 

[sachsmo]

Guess I will try the Valspar next time. I searched some threads and found roncos post about Rust Oleum orange. It may have just a smidge too much red, but seems real close. I used the "plastic primer" on all of it, we shall see if that was a mistake.

I do think the Allis Chalmers will be real close for my Sachs Dolmars.

This is my first try at paintin' a chainsaw, it was fun, may just give the old 143 a brighten up.

 

[jimdad07]

Looks good Sachsmo. I would love to see what your Dollies would look like all painted up.

Baked Enamel eh?

Just went out and threw some logs on the fire, put a few more in before bedtime.

It will be baked, then frozen enamel by 3:00AM.

 

[sachsmo]

Still cookin'

Well they are still baking on top of the wood stove.

I put near 2, 12 oz cans on it.

That old Enamel sure does lay down nice.
