Carb linkage paint
« on: May 10, 2014, 02:07:30 PM »
Has anyone ever found a paint to match the greenish color of the accelerator pump lever & various other linkage rods on a 17057266 ?

I don't know if you are aware of this or not, but that  is not paint, it's a Teflon coating.

Thanks for the replys, I realize that these parts are coated. I was just looking to clean them up without having to go through the replating process. I've gone to some of the sites that sell carb paint, but can't find this color.

Brownells has an aerosol marketed for firearms that is a teflon coating.  It comes in a variety of colors which includes OD Green.  May not be exact match but its close.
