Restoring Porter Cable Sander

[Jerome Hanby]

I picked up a 1/2 sheet Porter Cable sander at a yard sale. It works well, so I thought I'd clean it up. Is their a particular brand/type of paint? Is there some particular name for Porter Cable gray?

Thanks

Nice find ......... 505 is an excellent sander. Can't help with the color matching but it might be worth giving PC a call with your model and serial #'s. iirc there were at least a couple shades of gray, tan/beige, and polished aluminum used for finishes on the 505 over the years.

This one is gray, just has a few rough spots. I'll try <shudder> PC's website :D
