Thread: Paint for stihl chainsaw

Take a part of the chainsaw to an automotive/industrial paint supplier and have it computer matched, they will then supply you with the relevant paint, I suggest industrial equipment enamel, in that colour.

A Stihl dealer should be able to get the exact colour for you.
Stihl part numbers: for the grey its 0000-000-2102 and the orange is 0000-000-2101.
Don't know about the price - probably going to be the same as getting a colour match

According to Chainsaw restorers in the US using the Stihl paints, if a grey etch primer is used the Stihl grey covers quickly in a few coats but the Stihl orange takes many coats to achieve the proper colour depth. Most restorers use something else.

If you only need a small amount i.e. touch ups, then SuperCheap Auto will also match paint and put it in a spray can which is pretty handy.
It's not as tough as an industrial enamel but then again I did not apply as thick a coat as the original.

Yeah would like to avoid using the Stihl paints, haven't heard any good things about it.

Might take a small part into bunnings and have them try and match it. Probably will use Wattyl Killrust Epoxy Enamel
