Didnt mean anything negative towards those beautiful resto jobs!
Order it from your dealerwhere can one buy stihl paint? k
What does everybody do on their saw restorations?
Painting a saw can really make it look like a million bucks, but after all, it is a chainsaw so it's gonna get scratched up some.
Pros:
You have a new looking saw that just looks better.
Cons:
If you paint one part on the saw it will look funny if you don't paint the rest of the saw.
Somtimes paint colors will not match.
Paint doesn't agree with chemicals, gas, cleaners, etc, and you really end up with a mess, even after it has cured.
Saw doesn't have nastalgia look anymore.
It will end up looking like a used saw in a couple years anyway.
I usually end up painting my saws, To me the look of a clean saw outweighs the cons most of the time, kind of a sense of pride with the equipment your working with.
There is a full years cutting on this one since a paintjob.
This is my $100. Stihl 066, had it for 2 years now and it doesn`t owe me a thing.

Is that air filter org to 066?
If so I sure didn't know the 066 ever had what I call the 064 flat air filter.
I know it is a 066 by the crank case, just never seen that filter on 066,
Now I see a de-comp, so is it a parts saw?
Looks good no matter!
TT
I have been asked about that airfilter cover before and I really don`t know if it is OEM to an 066 or not. This was a one owner saw before I got it and it does have a decomp. I called and asked the original owner about the airfilter cover and he said it was never replaced, it came that way or it was on the saw when he bought it new. I got it so cheap that I never had any issues with it, last winter during a slack period I cleaned it up some and painted the cases and covers, that is all I ever did to it. Comp has always been between 145-150 cold and dry. It sure pulls a 32 full comp chisel through hardwood with ommmph.
