Kubota blue paint

[gurn]

I found a perfect match for the blue paint for my L175. Rust-Oleum 24863 Gloss Night Tide found it at Walmart for under $4.

I'll have to remember that for the next time I have to do anything major to mine. Right now everything that isn't orange is painted a dark gray (what was called deck gray in the Navy).

Well let me play the other side of the coin, what about the orange? Is there a suitable and comparable spray to the blue in rustoleum? One of my hoods was painted with a Kubota branded rattle-can and was off color, no big problem, but the quality was really lacking. properly prepped but faded quickly and powered off. (chalked) I believe in the rustoleum and krylon branded items plus can get them ordered through my nephew at the hardware store.

So... anyone have an orange name and number?

The Rustoleum orange I use is just "orange" and it looks like a good match to me. Look at my other post "My Kubota project" and you can see the orange on the wheels, they turned out nice.

I like Ace Hardware's Premium Enamel #17016

Chevrolet "Engine Orange" is a pretty good match. Auto parts stores have it.

When I read about this paint, I searched everywhere in AZ for it, with no luck. I recently made a trip back to the Upper Penninsula of Michigan, and checked every Walmart between here and there, no luck. I was beginning to think it didn't exist.... then yesterday, I find it at a local Home Depot, (where I had previously searched) discounted to $3.30 a can.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus..... he's a little early this year!

Wow-I've been looking for years to find a close match to that chassis blue Kubota paint.

In Canada, Kubota blue prices at $19/can, and they don't even lower their voice when they quote it!

Bastards!

Yea, I paid $14 a can to get mine done. Bastards!

 

[CobraTom]

I managed to get mine from a Dealer that had some NOS on his shelf with a sticker that said $9 for the blue and $11 for the Orange. I purchased a bunch from them and forced them to use the old price.

Careful...if Kubota finds out you are painting their tractor with anything but Kubota approved paint they may cut you off at the parts counter

Tractor Supply has a rattle can paint in 2 colors Old Kubota Orange and New Kubota Orange. Is their a diff?

 

[ipz2222]

Yes, different, very little. New orange is a little briter, ?? more red.??

I refinished my B21 a couple of months ago, dismantling much of it and painting everything. I bit the bullet and bought the expensive Kubota brand paint, Orange II and Gray.

I will say this for Kubota paint. It is heavy duty and will go a long way towards covering the tractor. I painted the bucket gray and since then I cut in a pad on my property which is fairly good size, on a slope. I have rocks aplenty, most mid size and a few that are so large I dare not pick them up in the loader so I just shove them to where I need them. To make a long story longer, after digging into the bank hundreds of times and scraping rocks and gravel and banging them around, the grey paint is still intact. No see-through scratches. It stands up to the task.

At $25 per quart (a little more for the orange) I feel I got my money's worth.

Close but no cigar on the night tide blue, got 3 cans today at Walmart. Noticeably lighter than the Kubota blue spray I have from the dealer. Still, it's close enough to use as a base coat, then I can "top coat" lightly with the Kubota paint to get the right color and get a lot more mileage from the Kubota stuff.

I used Tremclad "Real Orange" I did an A-B comparision and it was so close my wife could not tell the difference. Tremclad - $5.00 Kubota - $22.00. Click on the paper clip to see a picture.

I have an 01 L3410 that I need to get blue/gray paint for, anyone know of a match for that? Bought some 3 point pieces and they sent them with no paint on them, how cheap is that?

I have a perfect match for the orange in Dupli Color, but I don't have the number handy.

I bought some the spray cans of night tide blue at Wal0Mart.

Hard to get the spray can everywhere, so I sprayed paint on a piece of cardboard and went to Home Depot.

Got a can of semi-gloss oil based exterior paint. They would only would mix in a gallon since they did not carry the dark base I needed in a quart.

$27.00 ( $25.00 with my military discount) for a gallon. But at least I will have enough paint top get under the tractor and paint those innards. And if I have some left over, I will make a nice deal for some in the Memphis are for what I have left.

 

[gurn]

Thats a good idea elvisgj and welcome to the club! I might do that too and paint my box scraper and dirt scoop.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I found some of this paint via ordering online through Home Depot:
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Ole...ide-Gloss-Spray-Paint-6-Pack-248631/202436431

I'm not quite sure if this color matches what my tractor should be but it goes on really well. I'm topcoating some very good chassis paint (like POR-15).
