Anyone know the correct color grey for Kubota front end weights?

[sixdogs]

They are grey and I want to repaint some for an M7040. It could be Kubota ROPS Grey, Kubota Dark Grey Enamel or Kubota Dark Grey Semi-Gloss. Trouble is I don't know which and can't seem to find an answer. Does anyone know? It's important to me that I get the correct OEM color.

Maybe this chart will help.

Wish I could find a alternative to the Kubota paint as its about double the price of kry lon or rusto lean. Chevrolet orange engine paint from dupli color is a pretty good match.

There are numerous posts and threads on why I believe the best and cheapest Kubota (or any manufacturer) paint is their own OEM super quality paint. We need not confuse price with value.

I went to Home Depot and had them mix a quart of their version of Rustoleum.

Couldn't you just choose one of the colours... then paint all of your weights?

I'll help using the scientific method; "einee, meinee, mienee...." = Kubota Dark Grey Semi-Gloss

There. Done. You're welcome. :thumbsup:

I would like to paint them orange since Kubota Orange II is such a great color but it would not be correct and I'm a purist to maintain what came from the factory. I suspect they are dark grey but not semi gloss. Wish I could be sure.

I use Rustoleum Charcoal Gray for parts I have replaced on the engine and touch up on ROPS and the brake case I replaced. Home Depot has it online by the 6 pack or have seen it in some ACE stores, not all places that have Rustoleum stock it.

I bought a qt. of Rustoleum Charcoal Grey from Amazon. Free shipping and 1/4 the cost of Kubota brand stuff.

6-dogs,

Couldn't your local Kubota dealer check the specs on OEM Kubota weights and wouldn't the exact color be listed in these specs? Can you find an OEM Kubota weight and match it against the color chart you posted?

What makes you so certain that the color that the weights are right now is OEM? Maybe they were repainted after purchase and the "real" OEM color is something completely different but still off that color chart.

I suggest finding a OEM Kubota front end weight that you know has not been repainted and go from there.
