JCS Vending Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 We've been buying used machines lately and spare parts that need to be painted. Our machines are mostly red. There are so many shades of red I'm afraid to get the wrong shade and it will look terrible. Which one do you pick (brand/color) or how do I go about matching it up?

Does that give you high gloss finish? because I use Ace brand safety red and I like how it matches but would rather go to a high gloss finish.

I always wax mine after the paint has dried. I use nu finish car polish. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Nu-Finish-Paste-Car-Polish/16783574 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Will you sure were right about this I picked up a can of this paint and it matches great and looks as good or maybe better than new from OAK. How do you paint how far away from the machines, how many coats do you use ect. The only thing i didnt like about that paint was the spray tip seemed to spray alot of paint and its in a circular pattern instead of a straight line.

I usually sand off all dirt and grime and wipe clean with cloth and only put 1 coat on them. I guess it's about 6 or 7 inches away? The tip is what I like best, it sprays a good coat, you will get use to it and like it better im sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbuford Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 krylon Banner Red is almost exact match for A & A red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazenevenson Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I buy my paint from sherwin Williams, they have a small machne that can match the paint exactly. I find it easiest to bring the body of the machine with me rather than trying to bring a paint sample Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
