I got my reloading stuff out of storage. My powder measure stand evidently reacted with the bolts and corroded/oxidized the aluminum and caused some of the powder coat peeled up. I figure I will strip it and repaint it since it now needs it. 

My Partner press did the same thing but not as bad. Funny thing is I totally thought it was a Rock Chucker all these years. Kinda disappointed by that but the Partner will still do what I need. 

Also so thought I had a RCBS hand prime, nope I've got an old style lee autoprime with all the shell holders. Now I need to decide if I want to return the RCBS universal handprime or keep it and sell the Lee

Take it to a body shop paint supply store and have them color match some in a spray bomb can.

Deep green will get you close on the new presses, but if you are going to repaint it, why does it have to be green to begin with?

As for the older presses with more of the lighter neon green color, Rust-Oleum Safety Green (7533) is a close match for them.

Fair enough question. IDK green just seems like the natural choice. Guess I could see what I got in the garage and use that. I know I've got about 2 dozen different spray cans in there and not spend a dime.

A pretty good match in color is Rustoleum  Hammered Deep Green spray paint. It's not a perfect match, but it's close and looks good being "hammer tone".

As far as the hand primer, I would keep the RCBS universal myself. I have one and really like the feel when seating primers.

That does look good.
Could paint everything and it would all match great
