Walker Floor Jack Paint Colors?

[Steevo]

Can anyone here recommend rattle can paint brand/colors that are a good match for Walker floor jack original blue and yellow?

I have finished my cleaning, prepping and repairs on the metal parts of my J-134 jack and am going to start priming. Will need to find some paint pretty soon.

Steevo,

What did you end up using for rattle can paint for your Walker floor jack?
I am about to start one myself and would like to get all supplies together first.
Thanks.

John

In another thread I saw someone used GM engine enamel blue and yellow. Blue isn't that close but close enough if you aren't super picky

I'm a newbie here...and have a question relevant to this thread. I got a Walker 782 from my father. I'm pretty sure he's the original owner (he's 90 yo). I just started cleaning it up. On the outside, it's mostly silver on the body, and black on the handle, but there is faint evidence of light metallic blue everywhere. When taking off the ram cover, the internals are painted a light metallic blue...sort of like the light blue of the winking emoji or this color >> I've read all the threads here and all conclude that the early Walkers were navy blue, but I'm pretty sure this 782 was originally light metallic blue. Having helped my father rebuild a Buick 215 v8 wagon and a TR4 back in the 60s, and maintained his cars since, I know the jack is basically in the same condition it was in nearly 60 years ago. Even if he had done something, I know my father would not have bothered to paint the internals of this jack.

Thoughts anyone?

I have a 1984 Walker jack that has the light blue and yellow paint. I think some of the previous posters are onto something here - I think that 1960s Buick engine enamel is pretty close to the color of the jack. I don't know if you can even find that paint color these days.
