Has anyone found a suitable paint color for the Electrolux Olympia's? I looked through some auto paint chips when I managed the collision center but never found anything close. | ||

House paint
That brown colour the Electrolux Olympia One used looks like the same brown colour that was used years ago on houses. Go into a hardware store and see if you can find brown house paint in that same dark brown. Then contact the manufacturer - chances are, they either make it in a spray paint application for metal, OR they could direct you to another manufacturer/brand that does. Or, they might have a similar brown shade in spray paint that will do and be close enough.

Also another option if you don't want to spend so much money on paint matching a pint of paint (if it's for a small little chip or scratch) - you can see if Testors has a color match in their range of little hobby paints for model kits. These little jars usually only cost about $1 or so.
