I did the $4-5 rattle can option with Key Lime Rustoleum when I went over the 3400. Not a perfect match but close enough. I agree with JJ - so many Poulan greens out there, it has to match or be darn close to one of them.
For me, spending $25-30 on paint and the seeing the first chip/scratch would irritate me - much easier dealing with a $5 chip/scratch and having easy access to a touch up can at Home Depot.
Had the 3400 out for a rip this morning.

Yes, Mopar sublime green is suppose to be the color that is suppose to be close. But, it must depend on where you get it. I bought a quart of sublime and hardener from a auto restoration outfit in Calif. Is way to green in my opinion, should be a little more yellow in it. Don't look bad...but if it is next to a correct original saw, easy to see.
I guess the best thing is just have some custom mixed. I know Mark has. Brad (blsnelling) had some mixed at a Mastersons (Ace Hardware) that turned out real close, and best of all it was fairly cheap. I wrote down the mix codes he used. Figured if I ever do another one, I'll try that.
Here is my repainted 5200, next to my original 4200. Big difference.
Gregg,
Great picture Gregg!

Boy did I have fun with one of my saws tonight! I love what no chain and few thousand RPM's of screaming Poulan can do. I was nice to the little ones and took my mask off and no saw but the teenagers were like this 
My wife and I were like this 
. Happy Halloween !

That just blows me away. It did last year as well.
I fired up a Jonsereds 630 and 4 girls ran to the end of the block. Not sure if it was the saw or they got a good look at my face.

....Beer is good.....
eBay came through. NOS Oregon rim setup to replace the worn spur on the 4200... 16.00 shipped, had it in 3 days.
Well looks like I get to replace my p/c, 90 psi don't cut it.

How mint is the rest of the saw? Seems like a fairly significant investment, albeit for a great saw. Mind you, I am thinking in Canuck bucks here and the reality that nice runners can be had for < $40 in these parts.
FWIW, another member on a different site spoke to the quality of piston kits from that seller. I gather they are a bit "rough" in quality. At least the one for the Homelite saw he was fitting.

The rest of the saw is in great shape, be it that I built it out of two free saws.

I looked at a original dayton 17" saw today which I think is the 361. They wanted $48 for it but I'm not into these.
I took a pic with phone and sent to a member on CSR to see. But I dont know how to post it here.
I did buy the big belly ole crosscut though.

The cylinder is off a saw that had great compression, may check to if the guy has the piston set that was on the saw and see if he would sale it too.
