ToddW Report post Posted February 20, 2022 I have a skiver table I want to paint and looking to see if I can get close to the COBRA color. I have a COBRA sewing machine and the skiver is in the same room as the COBRA. Any idea of a spray paint that is close? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) I do non´t think you will find a 100% matching paint of the shelf. I´d check home depot (or similar) and buy some brown rattle cans. But if this is of major importance for you and you really want it very close I´d check with a paint matching service or your local car painter, they may be able to find the closest shade for you. You may have something like this locally: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Custom-Color-Matching-Services/33936.htm or try a color detecting App for your phone (the one with out wires ) like Color Grab https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.loomatix.colorgrab&hl=de&gl=US Edited February 20, 2022 by Constabulary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisash Report post Posted February 20, 2022 In the UK you can get colour matched rattle tins made by taking in a sample colour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomE Report post Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) This looks close but you'll probably have to shoot it through a gun. https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-chrysler-omaha-orange-3-1-ssu-96oz-kit.html Eastwood is a good source of automotive body tools and finishes for DIYers. They might be able to package this product or an enamel paint in a spray can. Edited February 20, 2022 by TomE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ToddW Report post Posted February 21, 2022 Rust Oxide primer was almost a perfect match but was a real flat finish. Close enough for me.. Almost put a clear satin finish but it got dark outside... I have the stand finished.. Taped off the motor and got a lite coat on it. I am torn on painting the skiver itself as I just don't want to take it apart and not sure my masking skills are good enough. The skiver is an Artisian which is an odd shade of green or teal. I'm not that particular but didn't want my work room to look like the front of lowes with all the different grills. Since the work room is so small, everything is in pretty close vicinity. Appreciate all the responses... If I had more time, probably would have gone the eastwood route as I do have a paint gun and that looks pretty good.
