I've recently acquired  a 1978 Boxford BUD Lathe in good condition,
although the paintwork is a bit shabby; its the two tone model in grey
and brown.

Can anyone recommend a supplier of paint for this model,  same  as
used in the original manufacture ?

Boxford told me they  no longer stock it and they advise people to
colour match with a chart. So, anyone know a good match colour code
and paint type before I start searching the shelves of the local paint
shop with the tailstock under my arm ?

Thanks
Pete

It's probably a stoving enamel from the BS381C series, and you can get
air-drying enamels from most decent paint mixers.

As to specific colours, I'll look on my colour chart at work in the morning.

Industry used BS381C and BS4800 mainly, with the RAL colours being used more in
the past 20 years or so.
