Hegner Paint Color?

[kmmcrafts]

Any of you Hegner owners repaint your crappy looking stand? Saw looks pretty good but as most of these you see on Marketplace the stand always looks as though it had fallen off a mountain or dragged behind a car for 30 miles, LOL

I'm wanting to clean up my saw as it looks terrible and might add some value or make it easier to sell when that time comes.. I do need to sell a couple of my saws but which ones I'm unsure at the moment.. and may list all of them and the first couple that sells might be the decision maker for me, LOL

Anyway, anyone know of a spray paint that is a very close match? I didn't see any touch-up paint on their website but maybe I missed it. I know there is a guy on FB that rebuilds these but I can't seem to send him a message.. maybe either he doesn't accept messages or something in my FB setting not allowing me to send a message.. Either way, if anyone knows of a paint brand and name / number that is a close match.. Maybe rather than trying to match old paint I'll just paint the stand black or something.. but would like it to look like they did from the manufacture..

Why does it have to be same color. Paint it black. Not going to add any value. As long as you have a stand. Label is on stand so cover that. Or just get a bunch of red cans or orange, whatever that color is, of paint and have at it.. Dewalt stand is black.

take the whole unit down to a car paint shop.  They can match the color.   Or just take one leg for color matching.  Then buy the paint and spray it yourself.

I agree it's not going to really add much if any value but it can make for a easier sale..  When ever I was looking at used Hegners before I got this one I personally didn't have much interest in the ones that looked rough, especially when asking price is at the higher end. I wouldn't even have looked at the one I got if they hadn't had it priced at $50 and almost passed on it but the guy gave it to me so who could refuse that.. LOL  There are many of these like this because they must have some sort of paint peeling issue.. Rarely see a Hawk or most any other saw brand like these Hegners.. heck even the cheap entre level saws have better paint.

So anyway, I figured I got it running good and cleaned up other than the stand looks bad and figured it's worth $10 can of paint to clean it up even more.. I'm sure there are more people that feel the same as me when searching to buy a saw.. who wants to buy a saw that looks like it had fell off a truck going down the highway, LOL.. especially when asking top prices.. so I guess I do feel it would add some value.

Yeah that had crossed my mind too but I wasn't really wanting to spend $40 for a high end single stage paint when a $10 spray can would hold up fine on a scroll saw stand being inside and out of the sun etc..

I heard Kabota orange is a very close match.

I wondered about that color as well as the older Chevy engine paint might be close. Was going to try that but thought maybe someone knew of a color so I don't have to guess at it, LOL.. If it's not a very close match I might just paint the saw too since there isn't much too the saw. That stand might take a couple cans as there are so many angles to get a good coverage on. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion..

I did not say do not paint it. I said why does it have to match. That will not get you $1 more. Paint it black or pick a close colored paint from Home Depot. You can get a custom colored paint mixed from auto repair. Big$$$.  Yes you do better if it is painted and not rusty that is obvious.

I repainted mine and used Kabota Orange.  It is a very close match.
