I am trying to find what the two original colors, brand and where to purchase the paint for my 1956 ShopSmith Greenie. I have been told that the Rust-oleum Hammered Verde Green model#7219 is one color but I can't find it in any stores yet, understanding it may have been discontinued. What is the other paint color coating? Can anybody help?

The Verde Green is what you need. I got lucky and bought a couple cans outright from someone who had extra, but afterwards I found a Kelly Moore paint store that will order it in per can. Our Lowes carries the other hammered colors but not the green. I think the best bet is to try local mom and pop paint stores, they might be willing to get a can or two at a time where a big box store won't.

I've always found the Verde green at Menards, but never could find a good match for the lighter color. It's probably been a year or so since I bought any, so I can't say for sure if it's current.

I just checked the Menard's web site & they show the paint as a current item @$5.77/can.
The site asks for my zip, so I think that only means my local store has it for sure. You'd have to check your area, but it seems to be a stock item at least.

I guess if you want the true colors, you gotta pay the price. If you can live with an "almost" lighter color for the greenies, the Verde green is as close as you'd want and Rustoleum also has a real good match for both of the goldie colors. Here's a pic of one I did a while back.
