Need Paint for backhoe

[Sysop]

Rustoleum has an Allis-Chalmers orange in their farm and implement line too.

Yes I am retrofitting my 509 hoe to fit the RX6010, I completed the installation of the subframe tonight, now I have to spread out the hanger attachments on the backhoe. The Mahindra had a 28 1/2" spread between the subframe arms and now they are 42" apart on the RX6010. I picked up some of the Duplicolor Chevy orange engine paint and it it a perfect match, you guys are a big help. I am going to be painting the entire backhoe to match the tractor.

Murphy was the one that told me about the Chevy Engine Orange, I love the way he just says "its a good match".

Yep, he was right on with the suggestion. I'm a Ford man head to toe and it sure was hard for me to buy Chevy paint but, sometimes you just gotta do what makes sense.

Well if it doesn't stick good or fades at least you'll know why

My dealer said the color on my tractor, 2013 manufacture, is called "New Orange"

Pretty sure that is "Chevy Orange". Old Kioti Orange was the same as Kubota Orange.

Don't worry I use to be a diehard Ford guy until the 2004 New body style, said it was the quietest Ford in the cab ever, they were right, could hear ever dash rattle real well because it was so quite (don't buy first year of any new design, lesson learned), it also had a vibration at 65 mph (vibrated the whole truck, and not tire related, felt like engine or trans flexplate was out of balance). I was told that Ford was aware of the vibration and it was not a problem just a characteristic flaw, I then bought a Chevy.
SO you'll be okay, the shock of anything Chevy will wear off after a while, trust me I know.
I had some old Kubota II paint I tried it and it did not match as well as the Chevy Engine orange did.

When you paint the hoe get some hardner to go with the paint to give it extra hardness and a longer life. I did this when I painted my hood. The bodyshop buddy of mine added it for the above reasons.
