So Brad how did your paint jobs hold up???

Stihl paint is not durable at all. It has no fuel resistance and scrapes/chips easily, even if baked. If you're going to paint a saw, use TSC implement paint at a minimum. Better yet, use a single stage enamel with a hardener in it.

Let me tell you...Brads hybrid may be the most special saw I have ever ran. Its chainsaw nirvana...

Hello Brad,
I interested in how you paint your covers/ cases. Do you use a stripper to remove the old stuff, then use a rattlecan primer and TSC tractor paint followed by baking at 200F to get the desired results? Thanks- Erick
