Hi, I'm looking for as much information as possible to match my sheerline to its original colour.

Can I take a part with decent paint on it somewhere for a colour match?
Does anyone know the correct type and colour already, as I'd very much appreciate the knowledge being passed on.
Is it as simple as buying spray cans? Or will I need it made up and then use a spray gun? Which I do already have 2 guns and I am looking for the best possible outcome and finish with this job

I live in Wodonga and am not far off starting the restoration of my Model 6 Sheerline.

Hi Sean,

I remember a thread on ODK and a restorer used White knight Alpine Green with a custom tint but the mix was listed on
a linked image that is no longer working and I haven't seen that paint for sale recently.

Yes you can take a sample to a paint shop and get them to match the colour ,your choice of them putting the paint
into a spray can or you mixing the paint with thinners to use a spray gun and compressor.

Take a clean, unweathered part of your mower's base to a reputable automotive paint shop. They will be able to colour-match the green and potentially replicate the finish with a custom mix.

Remember that even with a custom mix, variations can occur due to paint application, curing, and the age of the original paint.

I don't know if there is anyone on ODK that has recently painted a Sheerline to have the paint mix but there should be
someone on a Facebook mower group that can tell you the mix.

Superior Finish: A spray gun atomizes paint into much finer particles, resulting in a smoother, more even, and professional-looking finish .

Cheers
Max.

Thanks very very much for that excellent detailed information on how to paint and the possibilities of the colour or how to get a colour made up for me.

Legend! Cheers!¡!¡!
