ID:	307644I was in the local Lowe’s the other day and I took a short cut down the isle that had the spray paint. This can of spray paint jumped out at me, kind of like an Epiphany! The closest color match to Lyman orange I’ve ever seen! The Lyman 450 is original, the 45, and the trueline jr are the ones I painted. What do you guys think? Outside of it being a gloss paint and the original is flat I think it’s pretty darn close. As far as the glossy finish that’s fine with me I like shiny things anyway!

ID:	307645This is what the can looks like In case anyone’s interested. Oh almost forgot $4.99!
    PS Sorry about the pics being out of order, and or sideways. It only took me 45 minutes to figure out how to get all of them attached. I gave up trying to rotate them and get them in the right sequence!

    if you want an exact match take a clean press into napa and they will make an exact match and put it in a spray can for you, found this out when i had to do body work on the wifes car
    if you are ever being chased by a taxidermist, don't play dead

    Very nice. I cleaned and painted my Lyman Lubesizer, but thought it was orange. I was disappointed to find that orange is much reder than pumpkin.Click image for larger version.

    VOTE, VOTE, VOTE often. In dealing with potential dishonesty or corruption, Something you might keep in mind is a revealing quote by S.W. Erdnase in his book The Expert at the Card Table "Almost every ruse in the game is more or less dependent upon another one."
    Politicians are like babies diapers, they should be changed often and for the same reason. Mark Twain

    A lot of the 450 presses will show up in “Leisure Group Grey”. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) Lyman has used such a variety of shades of orange (not to mention glossy vs matte) that you can repaint Lyman gear about any shade of orange and be “right”. In fact, if you have Lyman tools of various ages, the colors will be all over the place, even if all are original!

    PMS 131. (Pantone Matching System) This is directly from Lyman. Unfortunately, it is NOT cheap.

    After about 40 years, my old Lyman Orange Crusher needed a new paint job. I used Rust-Oleum Orange Stops Rust Protective Enamel Spray Paint, Gloss, $10 at Tractor Supply.
