Hi, can someone tell me the correct gray paint to use on my new to me B7500? I am cleaning the tractor up, and the existing paint is so faded, its hard to tell. Thanks in advance, Matt

I cannot help specifically with the gray paint, but I was told recently that orange paint color changed in 1993, Went from Kubota orange 1 to #2. Maybe dealer parts man can answer with certainty.

If you want a dead-match, go to your Kubota dealer and get the proper color- my dealer carries it, and the price isn't too bad.

If you want close, Rustoleum makes a dark gray gloss paint in aerosol cans that matches pretty well. Locally, the only place that I have found who carries it is Home Depot.

Messicks has a nice paint chart on their webpage with OEM part #s and the various sizes available. My tractor has one gray for the chassis and a different gray for the ROPS...

I ended up having a quart of oil based Ben Moore DTM gloss matched from Rustoleum Charcoal Gray. Very close match. I am painting all gray areas, so I am not too concerned if it is not 100% spot on. Thanks again for your input.
