Paint

Anyone have any experience with the Kubota orange paint that Home Hardware sells? Is this good paint? I assume this could be used in a pray gun?

I have not used that brand, I used the Rust-Oleum Specialty Farm & Implement Gloss, Kubota Orange 12 oz. Spray.

You can see from the attached picture of the hooks that I painted, it matched well.

I'm not that overly concerned with matching as I'm painting the whole tractor and cab. I do want a color that is close but doesn't have to match perfectly. I'm just wondering if it's good paint that will last.

Freeon, I am not familiar with that particular paint, but to get your questions answered I'd suggest calling the paint manufacturer and ask for a specialist. I would also inquire about using a hardener with it and their recommendations with it. A small amount of hardener will make the paint resist the sun much better over time.

I have only used the rattle cans of the same stuff. It matches the colour well. It chips and scratches easier than factory. But easy enough to respray if I was too concerned. My tractor sits outside so faded and showing it's age.
Maybe the quart will be a little tougher if it's on a little thicker. Or like D2Cat mentioned, maybe hardener will help.

I used it to respray my cab.
Color match is a near perfect match to the factory orange.

I sprayed it with one of my cheap Princess Auto guns.

The area in the yellow circle is the factory color on the new floor( just replaced it).
The cab is freshly painted (approx. 1 month old)
I'd say it matches pretty well.
