Repaint Ammco bench

[skulldrinker]

Picked up this Ammco Brake lathe bench and want to disassemble it and repaint it. Does anyone know how I can get the original paint colors over the counter. What would be the most durable paint to use? I plan on installing the brake lathe back on and using the bench as such. So no need for chemical resistance. Rattle can Rust-Oleum doesn't last 5 minutes.

Do shops/people actually use brake lathes that much anymore? Unless they are rare\expensive, they are so cheap new these days.

Why is it there's always someone that has to bring up this. Please I asked for help on the paint.

Don't see any Blue in their color list but I will look for oil based paint now instead of spray can stuff. I wonder if all oil based paint is the same or what makes it "industrial" Thanks

Geez sorry, just asking a question. Not many shops here still have a brake lathe.

most of the brake drums, (which is used seldom on new) and the disks are so thin that re-turning and keeping in the specifications, replacement is the only option, in most situations,
my brake lathe has not been pulled out in years,

I would suggest a good machinery or industrial enamel,
