Best paint

[Millertime83]

I am rebuilding a walker floor jack and was wondering what's the best paint and color to be exactly like it was when it came out? Is there anywhere to get stickers made?Thx

It probably won't match the original color, but the most durable paint is alkyd enamel "implement" paint. Only a couple of brands make it. It is usually stocked at Tractor Supply. Add a few drops of enamel hardener and it is almost as tough as epoxy !

I like using Rusteolum with hardner
cheap and durable

If you're wanting the exact perfect color, take a piece (preferably flat) to an automotive paint store and have it scanned, the have it mixed in urethane paint. A quart would be more than enough for a jack but I'm going to give you extra room in case you've never sprayed before. It will be pricey after buying the paint, thinner, and hardener but that will be your best bet of getting the exact color. Plus a good urethane is as hard as a rock and doesn't chip easily.
