Jonsered paint?

[rickyrooster]

Hello, I've got a Jonsered 670 parts saw I'm going to rebuild. Can any one tell me the best brand paint and color to paint the metal parts. I called my local husky dealer and he told me he did'nt know of any factory offered Jonsered matching paint. Just wandering what someone else has found to be the best brand and color match. Thanks guys. Rick!!!!!!!!!!!

Hasnt anyone on this sight restored old jonsered saws. I thought they were popular with a lot of members here.

Rick;

I'm not sure that Jonsered actually offers any paint, but I'll take a look tomorrow.

Best alternative would be to find a Western snowplow dealer. The Western red is right on with the Jonsered red.

Want to know my secret for Husky Orange ?
Come closer, Closer....... Ka Pow..... LOL.

Na, Just Kidding.
Go to your local Kubota Dealer and get the Acrylic Enamel, Bright Orange II
70000-73712 I buy it by the Quart, But it does come in a spray bomb can.
Just make sure it says Bright Orange. Kubota sells two different tones.

I know for sure that George Blake (username "motorsag") has restored lots of old Jreds to like new condition - I suggest you ask him.
