That stuff is solvent based with a limited pot life. It would certainly have to be tested over the Stihl paint since it's so sensitive.

Unless you are in a hurry to paint, I can ask our supplier what he would recommend. There has to be an economical chem resist clear spray out there.
I can find out Monday?

I believe this is the stuff you're talking about. Armorseal

I wonder how this stuff would do? Being water-based is a huge advantage to the buy spraying it in his garage. I would also expect it to bee ok over the Stihl paint. The 2-part floorthane I can almost guarantee you would lift the Stihl paint.

But the biggest problem to deal with is it lifting the Stihl grey paint. I'd love to find a clear I could just shoot over the Stihl Grey and add durability and fuel resistance. Do me a favor and ask him about this water-based product.

I have some water based Dream Koat in my garage...It is the same style product as the Armorseal...If you want I can bring some to the GTG...I have used the stuff over everything, plastics, wicker lawn furn, wood, cement and it works wonders...

I have also used it over rustoleum gray. Didnt lift it. Is the stihl paint that bad it will lift? Maybe im missing something???

Absolutely. The Stihl paint is that sensitive. Both enamel and lacquer will lift it. Gasoline simply disolves it.

Even after heat curing?

I honestly can't remember if I tried clear-coating after putting it in the oven or not. Gasoline? Absolutely. Does not stand up at all. It literally just disolves it.

You could always run a test on an old piece of magnesium. I know muffler paint comes off until you run it and bake it on.

Brad... I called on an Acrylic Polyurethane Enamel made by a company in Oregon... They'll mix custom colors a gallon at a time. I forgot to ask about price, but I imagine a gallon would do a dozen saws or better?

Chemical, fuel, and impact resistant. They can mix by a sample you send them, or a picture online.

I talked to Wendy about it in the Eugene store--but for custom mixed stuff she said to talk to Greg Davis at the factory EXT. 324...

Phone# 1-541-868-1222
Or 1-800-537-7201

I may grab a can of the Minwax clear Varathane and give it a try. Being able to use aerosol cans is a huge advantage for a hobbiest.

You just jogged my memory! There's a good old fashioned hardware store in Findlay that mixes tractor and implement paint. They can scan and custom mix it as you mentioned. They even sell a hardener for it if I recall. It's way more economical than acrylic enamel, though I'm sure not as good. It would certainly be better than the Stihl grey. I would loose the convenience of an aerosol can though. A couple coats and then rinsing out the gun with Mineral Spirits wouldn't be that big a deal though. I'm headed up there this afternoon. I think I'll grab a new clutch cover and take it along. That stuff is designed for exactly the kind of conditions a chainsaw sees. Lots of oil, gasoline, and the like.
