Is there a source for wood and/or metal paint that is generally available. I would like to make a few items and match the paint color of the lathe.

Do the borgs carry a close match or is Jet the best source. I don't need enough to warrant a custom match.

Thanks,

Clem
 
Why don't you take your Jet banjo or tailstock to your local paint store for a color matching? My Home Depot and Lowes have a paint matching computer. Works pretty nice. They should be able to come up with something? Also check with local Automotive painters.
