If you look at the rustoleum site color samples, Verde Green looks more like the sample I posted. Your avatar looks more like the Deep Green. The motor cover and main headstock case in my image were painted with Verde Green. The output shaft cover was painted with Deep Green. Must have been some change in the formulation.

Need some clarification on the messages above. Above the photo of bucksaws headstock parts, it says "Rustoleum Deep Green and Verde Green:". The avitar photo of thainglo's machine seems to match the Deep Green yet thainglo's message says that it was painted "Verde Green and silver".

Comments?

I can guarantee I painted this Shopsmith restoration in Verde Green. Attached is a larger picture that might help clear it up.

Regardless of the apparent color questions going on here, darn nice looking greenie you got there thainglo. You obviously put a lot of detailed effort into it. NICE JOB.

Thanks Mike. In the middle of a Goldie resto, decided to build a blast cabinet this time to keep the grit from flying all over the garage. Hope to have that done in the next week or so, then start putting it all back together.

Going to use the hammered copper and gold, found that Fastenal really has the best prices, beat Home Depot by about $3 a can!

Was looking at the spray cans at ACE Hardware today during the 20% off bag sale. They had newly designed Rustoleum Hammered spray cans as well as the old ones. Looks like they added Brown to the Hammered line. This may replace the Verde Green that's supposed to disappear...

Then tonight while reading this I did a Hmmmm..., what if you mixed the copper, gold, and/or bronze. Would this yield a color closer to the original SS colors?

I know this opens up a lot of questions. Can the different colors in the Hammered line be mixed? Could the correct proportions be determined with another type of paint to keep the cost down on this experiment? How would airless spraying ( since the paint source would be from quart cans ) affect the outcome? And last, what ARE the correct shades for the greenie and goldie, since these models have 40+ years of oxidation on them?

I've got silver and black in quart cans, but can't mess with them until the end of May due to the weather here. Nuts!!!! Now I've got to search for a color wheel.
