most likely decals wont be too hard to find for your JD 2210 and paint will be maybe a little pricey but well worth it.
Should I repaint my JD 2210?

I would take the rear fender off and have auto body shop wet sand and paint it with the correct flex additive.
I do have a new rear fender for a 2210 with no decals. I may be willing to part with it but shipping to the left side of the country will probably be pricey. Probably cheaper to paint yours.

Zephrant,
I feel your pain of a grungy looking tractor, I purchased a used Kubota L4200 this past spring, it too had been "well used" the tractor mechanically fine, I mowed with it one time and my neighbor looked at it and said that it was just not me to have a grungy machine! I had planned on painting it this winter but couldnt wait, I finished mowing and took it to my garage and repainted it over about 2 weeks, I admit my machine is used it is not a show piece, I take care of over 200 acres with it but I like a nice looking machine. My advice is to go for it and repaint it, as far as decals I own a graphics shop and could make you some very nice decals for it if you wish?
Have a great day!
Mike

You guys are right, it looks like JD has the decals on their site. I won't know until I try to buy them if they will really get them in for me, but I've got no reason to believe they would not come in yet.
Mike- Thanks a lot for the offer, I'll certainly let you know if JD does not come through for me. Did you buy "Kubota" paint from the dealer, or something after-market? I noticed lots of paint at the dealer when I bought it but I didn't look closely. I am counting on them having the correct two part paint for me.
I'm going to try to polish out the fenders first- I don't think they are too bad, and there is a lot of decals on them. The hood definitely gets new paint, as does the bucket. I'm not sure on the loader arms yet- I'd have to remove all the hydraulics to do it right and that seams like a major PITA.
My first project is the metal plate around the SCV under the seat- rusting and peeling paint. I'm going to get my dad's pressurized tank sand blaster on Sunday, and get started on it.
Should I use basic satin black paint from the hardware store, or is there a special JD black that I should be using? I'll be repainting the ROPS too.

What is the best way to get the concrete out of the bucket without damaging the metal? Dead-blow hammer? Ball-peen hammer and tap at it?

Zephrant,
I purchased Factory Kubota Orange and Grey from my local dealer, Expensive but very very durable. and it is the correct color for the machine.

Has anyone used paint from TSC, i seen they had all different kinds
of tractor paint, but don't know anyone that has used it.
I have some old Jd attachments that was handed down from family
and was thinking about painting them.

I have used it on some implements-it's OK at best, it fades in the sun rather quickly if think...probably OK for your implements but I would use the genuine JD stuff on anything I really cared about.

I use the JD spray paint for touch up, had never used the TSC paint.
I seen where they had it for $29.99_ a gallon but i will stay with the
jd paint.
Thanks kennyd

What is a good black paint to use for touching up the metal pieces? Can I get something at Ace that is good enough?
