Color match for Ariens White paint?
Original Message   May 16, 2005 7:58 pm
The Dupli-Color engine orange is a perfect match for the Ariens orange.

Has anyone found a similar off-the-shelf color  for Ariens White?

Many auto paint dealers can computer color match, if all else fails.

I guess you know you should be able to buy them at the local dealer, but might be more expensive.

It's about $10 at the dealer, but I'd prefer to stick with a brand  that's more readily accessible for purchase. The dealer only had the Orange in stock.

Garandman,

What I did to get the match for the Ariens Orange, was take a part with me with the orange color and matched it to the spray can cap. The Chevy Orange looked like the best match and it turned out to be just that. Try to take a part that is least faded and give it a try.

Funny story, when I went to buy the paint at the Local Ariens dealer he told me he doesn't carry it. So I ask him what does he use when he needs to touch up some parts for customers. He told ne to go to Home Depot and buy some Flourescent Orange and would be a good match. Stupid me buys it and the color is more appropriate for highway signs then my snowblower. Needless to say he won't be getting any more business from me for his foolish suggestion.

Great for snowblowing during deer season.

There's a reason for more than one snowblower.
Because.

Sounds like that's the dealer that did some touch up painting on my "free" ST824. 

Thankfully, almost all of the paint is now gone (thanks to paint remover.)

I saw an Ariens with that color painted on it somewhere.  It was probably here.

That's what 've done. I used the inside of the Inner Belt Guard. Wimbledon White is a pretty good match. Hard to tell as the white paint yellows with age but the wheels I painted are pretty close to the old color.
