That saved a lot of money, allowing me to avoid the rattle can fee, and it works well for my machines. After that, I invested $35 in a Critter mason jar sprayer that is powered by a consumer-grade air-compressor. It's an expensive option, however, to have the paint put into rattle cans. The paint came out in a broader, more even swath and went on smoothly. In my opinion, these rattle cans sprayed much better than the Rustoleum spray I've used. So, I had them do a custom color match with their current deep base alkyd enamel using the undisturbed original paint under the little cover plate behind the tilt hand wheel, then I paid extra ($7/can before promo discount) to have them put the custom-mixed quart into 6 aerosol (rattle) cans. When I tried to use some of the info on this page to get paint for my 1946 Unisaw in 2015, Sherwin Williams couldn't use the outdated info.


I thought I'd update this info a bit since paint stores change their formulas over time.
