Chevy Orange is supposed to be a dead ringer

Yep, this one has my vote also.

I can agree it is a dead ringer for Kioti Orange but that is a slightly brighter and redder orange than Kubota Orange as I recall.

Attached photo shows a bracket I made (arrow points to it) bolted to the front loader pin mounts. Bracket was painted with Rustoleum Lobster Red. Other than the bucket being a little dirtier/dustier than the bracket, the you really can't tell the colors apart in person.



This photo shows both paints in multiple lighting shadows and highlights, so it's a real good indicator.

A little too much red in it.

You can look at this thread

or this photo of mine. The top half is the lobster red, the bottom half is the original 2010 kubota L3400 paint. Lighting is indoors florescent tubes.

Yeo, like I said, a "little" too much red in it.

Has anyone ever compared Lobster Red to Chevy Engine Orange? The Chevy Orange is a very close match for Kioti. Others have said it matches Kubota. I recall that Kioti changed the shade of orange away from Kubota orange about 8-10 years ago as part of a settlement with Kubota. How could these colors match both tractors if that is true?

It isn't true. They are so close to the same. I used the Kubota paint to touch up the Kioti, until I found the Lobster Red. Thanks to one of the members here.

I think there is more variances in the different tractors and weathering effects than there were in the original hue of the paint. I am no color critic, and far far from a paint blend expert, but to my eye, there isn't a nickles worth of difference. I am sure others would differ.

We bought ours at TSC, matches very well, but deglosser was CRITICAL to getting it to stick well and it sure does1
