I got some Verde Green on special order from Home Depot, but it took some doing. Couldn't get it done over the phone. Had to place the order at the "pro" desk also called the contractors desk. They aren't open on Saturdays at my local HD. They did call me when it came in- but when I got there they couldn't find it, finally someone ran back to Receiving. Just be prepared for a bit of a process when you order.

I searched an entire Saturday afternoon for the elusive Verde Green Rustoleum hammered in my neck of the woods, but to no avail...even the big Ace hardware here couldn't even order it!

So I searched online. Found out that Home Depot does sell it, but online only and in 6-packs. $30 bucks for a 6-pack, but after all the fuel burnt and aggravation, it was worth it to me.

I ordered a case of the stuff. Any interest in a can or 2? I could part with some if convinced.

I ordered some (paint) from fastnall, paid a bit more for it as I recall but they were able to get it.

It's your machine, paint it what ever color you want! I don't think anyone here will mind. There are plenty of non-original paint jobs on this site.
