Definitive Kubota Orange budget replacement

[Jay4200]

FYI: I found the PERFECT budget Kubota Orange paint.

Its Rustoleum "Lobster Red" - $3.77/can at Walmart.

It is absolutely identical to the 'new' Kubota orange. I painted a test panel on my BX2750 snowblower yesterday, and it is indistinguishable from the original factory paint. It is also old-fashioned oil-based good quality paint (2-4 hour dry-to-touch time). I wouldn't be surprised if this is the same paint that is in the $13 Kubota spray cans.

You mention that Kubota has a "new" orange.

I've got a 1984 L275 4WD so I guess the "new" paint would be a somewhat different color. Correct?

That is correct, you would have the "old" kubota orange

My first try was a Rustoleum "Real Orange" - some new type of paint they make that covers with half the paint (one can = two). It did seem to cover extremely well, was also $3.77, and it was quite orange compared to the much redder new color. It might be worth a try for the old color.

Thanks for tip, Jay,,
I was using the "engine Chevrolet orange "high heat"" on my rims,
10 bucks at CTC, still cheaper than Kubota's.

Chevy engine orange is exactly the same color as Ariens, BTW.
