I bought some if the Bitec stuff a few months back. It's fairly close to the Myford colour and slightly paler, more minty than the emco and startrite colours.

I've also bought this exact colour, can't comment re. Myford suitability, but it's a very close match to the hammer finish paint used by Smart & Brown on this 1977 Model "M" lathe.

I don't remember seeing a Myford with a hammered paint finish.

What model Myford is it? I don't recognise the bed. Now I know, thanks to lathes UK.
