Check online for a better price and really any quality auto paint will work. Valspar made some decent paint for the price (TSC used to carry it) and I am told some other retailers are carrying it - maybe someone can chime in and give you some idea where. Good luck!

I'll look around just got out of school on Tuesday so I'm just working up to it

Good luck - also can check NAPA if you have one that has a paint shop around you

Maybe I posted earlier on this thread? IF you plan on keeping the tractor for a while, and you only want to do it once, spray it with epoxy primer (good stuff- tough as ****) and spray Kubota paint. I am no artist with a spray gun, but following directions and using a $30 HF HVLP gun I got great results. One good piece of advice is use Xylene for thinner- when I did, I was sorry I hadn't from the get go. Of course, the prep work is 90% of any refinishing job...

Good start - you may want to unbolt your hyrdo lines as you will get a better paint job and it often saves time over masking them.

Cool thread. I'm enjoying it. I know you got way more advise than you need but I'll tell you that prepping is the most important part of a project such as this. Get the old paint off, get the grease and oil off, get a good quality primer and paint and take what ever time it requires to do it right but the most important part is "have fun doing it".
Here's a few photos of my ol forklift that I did. Good luck and enjoy.
