Poll: What Color have you painted a machine tool?

[Aaron_W]

Grey is probably the most common machine tool color and that isn't an option. You might have also included "factory" as a color. The few times I've painted a machine it has been touch ups and I've tried to match its original color or at least close to it.

I have been using Smoke Grey that is lighter than the darker machine greys. It's sold under the Industrial Choice brand by Rust-Oleum. Very nice color. It's # 1688830.

Blue, green, and grey...

When I read the title of this thread, I immediately thought of Bear. Been to his shop, and photos don't do his equipment justice. Glad you responded, Bear. Best paint work I've ever seen on restored machines.

Hammered blue. Blue is almost in the lead despite all the die hard greyers.

I'm late to this party.
I didn't read the thread because I can't believe GRAY isn't a choice in the survey.
Both Light Machine Gray and Dark Machine Gray are off-the-shelf available in the Rust-Oleum brand rattle cans, for instance.
Tractor supply sells implement paint gallons of Massey Ferguson Gray from at least two brands.
