I have had an RX7320 open station (my second Kioti) for about three years and am happy with the machine. I recently discovered a problem with corrosion under the instrument cowl. The tractor lives inside but the odd days left out in the rain and washing were apparently enough to introduce a problem which was exacerbated by the fact that the paint prep in that area is poor on my tractor. It was coming off in sheets all the way down the pedals. After prepping and priming I started to cast about for a color match for the Kioti gray. Most owners are aware that Duplicolor DE1620 Chevrolet Orange is a pretty good match for the orange. Took a paint flake to the store and Rustoleum had a color that said NEW on the cap. It's not a bad match at all and has more blue in it than the charcoal gray. The color is Deep Slate 312818.

Chevy engine orange. Get an enamel. That or Kioti sell paint in cans themselves.
You didn't read the post. I wasn't asking I was offering and the point was to save the ridiculous amount that Kioti charges for rattle cans.

Agreed but the Kioti rattle cans are excellent quality.

Whoops. My bad. On my computer now. Was on my iPhone. Just about everyones dark gray is a good match. I have had good luck with Rustoleum universal equipment dark grey. However, in the salt belt everything gets nailed with cold galvinized first--that or an acid etching primer.
