I recently picked up a Carolina bandsaw and 50 ton hydraulic press. I would like to paint both back to the original color. I'm having a hard time finding any matching paint. I emailed the comment and got a response that they didn't know. Spray cans preferred due to ease of use but bulk paint would be OK. Any ideas?

Pic not loading full size , but that is probably the rite color, you may get close but a perfect match could be a prob.

The rust-oleum green hamertone is almost a perfect match to Grizzly green.
 
Thanks! I have been looking for the hammer-finish Rustoleum green. The local Locals, Home Depot, Walmart, -Mart, and Tractor Supply does not have it. I'll try other Lowes when I go by them.
 
My Carolina saw was more of a red color. Maybe it depends on the year. They're good saws with a little tweaking. I added wheels and a set of rollers to support long stock. I used the vertical feature with the support leg until I got my Grob bandsaw.

I think the old ones were green. This one is a model HD10. I've but a new drive belt (and tightened the motor tensioning by adding additional springs). I also put on a new Lenox 10-14 tpi bi-metal blade. Added a little oil to the hydraulic down feed cylinder. Added casters. Seems to cut pretty good and true now. Thinking about making a blade brush for it since I don't have coolant. I'll be making (or modifying) some rollers. Does your have any electrical switch other than the auto-cut-off switch? I'm thinking about adding another one in case of emergency.
