I've tried several different white Rustoleum paints, but I haven't found one that matches the "Jet white" on Jet's white colored power tools.

Any suggestions on a paint that matches? This is for touch up on some spots where the paint is worn away on cast iron parts.

Try calling the tech support. I know a few of my PM machines came with a little can of touch-up at one point. I'm sure if you talk nice to them they might have something for you?

So when you bought your Powermatic tools, they came with the can of paint?

That's a nice touch.

Remove one of the parts and take it one of the Borgs and let them "color match" the paint.

You could use off white, tan or Grizzly green. According to WMH group, it matches and violates their trademark.

Saw this article some time back

I called the WMH Tool Group tech support number and they sell white touch up paint for $20 including shipping. Not a bad deal.

Thanks for the tip. Would have been easier to go through them first haha :D

Krylon Glossy Ivory is almost a dead on match.

I actually have a brand new can of spray paint I got from Jet to do some touch ups so they do have paint.

I use Rust Oleum Canvas White....it's so close, I can't tell the difference.

I have a little can that came with my Jet jointer a few years ago. I since sold it. Send your address and I'll drop it in the mail.

Krylon Ivory. 'Matches the Delta "Grand Edition" color, too...

They sent me a small bottle when I received a tool with some chipped paint. I'm sure the local paint store could make up a nice spray can of matching paint.
