Have a 3 HP engine someone painted J.D. colors and don't think much of it. What should it be?

I've checked out John Deere Green, Hunter Green and Dark Hunter Green. None of them are right.

If you look at a jar of green olives, you are seeing just about what it should be. I've yet to find a local source, but I'm working on it.

I've heard rumors about places that will mix your color and put it in spray cans for you.

I decided to go with Sherwin Williams for a custom mixed gallon. Results are in the link below...

Our local Auto parts store [national bushing]which also mixes and sells dupont paint has that service it is quite expensive to do it though

I have a quote of 11.10 per can for 6 cans from Final Finish in Bradenton, Florida.

It's a real toss, whether to be fussy or go with the Rustoleum Hunter Green. I've already spent $60 for replacement bearings and another $60 for a magneto. There's no end to it!

Thanks Harry, for your info, and I think I will leave the beast the color that it is but eliminate the yellow flywheels. Mark
