Questions about paint.
Majic vs Rust-Oleum Farm and Implement?
$20 difference in price.
Quality?
I know adding the catalyst to alkyd based paints is the hot ticket.

Kubota Orange, no problem, but what about the dark gray on these Kubotas?
Is there a spray can to match? Qts, gallons, other brands?
TIA

I bought Farm & Fleet Implement Paint in the can, mixed it along with a little hardener when I restored mine last year. Came out fantastic with a cheap Harbor Freight HVLP gravity fed sprayer

I can’t recall what it was called, but I bought a Rustoleum paint in a grey color that is a good match for Kubota grey.

I have used a lot of both and the only real difference is drying time. The Majic takes forever.

IMO hardner in acrylic enamel is a waste of time and money. If you want a hard durable finish use a catalyzed urethane.
