I've just (finally!) managed to acquire a 9x20 lathe that is about 5 years old. It is in very good condition and only lightly used. It doesn't need paint but I'm not fond of Busy Bee's (Canada) corporate colors - dark green and yellow. Before I start using the lathe 'd like to repaint it. Any recommendations as to the type of paint best suited to the task on machinery - epoxy, polyurethane, acrylic enamel, alkyd enamel, etc? As you've probably guessed (rightly) I don't want to spend as much on paint as I did for the lathe, nor do I want to don a hazmet suit for a two week exercise :big:.
A friend had mentioned Sherwin William Polane Enamel in 7B Gray - anyone have experience with it? Or any other brand? Something that doesn't require sandblasting down to the metal and is fast drying would be preferable.
Thanks
