Hi all,

Been having a terrible time trying to repaint my SB45. Had it sand-blasted then, thinking it was almost a match for the original paint, attempted to spray it in VHT Kermit Green Engine Enamel.
What a mistake that was!
Thought that the heat and chemical resistance of the paint would be a great thing for a mower frame, but The paint is extremely difficult to spray well. It ends up patchy when sprayed with a thick coat and has dust-like paint particles left on it if I try to spray in thin coats.
Tried everything but just can't get the finish I'm after with this paint, chucked the rest in the bin.
Getting the frame sand-blasted again tomorrow for a fresh start, I know nothing about paint, can anyone help me? Enamel or Acrylic? Where to get a close match for the original paint(late SB45 as shown in pic)?
Would definitely prefer spray cans and as close a colour match as possible.

Cheers,
David
