Kubota Gray Paint

[eddieirvine]

Just thought I would let everyone know that I am in the process of painting my ROPS and frame of my Kubota L3010 I have heard allot about this color even from the dealer being a pain to match well I found one from Ace hardware it was a computer mixed paint from what Ace Hardware calls Rust Stop Oil Base High Gloss I have used this paint on other project and holds up very well about the same as Rustoleum. If anyone is interested in the formula I can post it just let me know the color match is excellent thanks Eddie

Well good I am glad you seen my post, I just finished my painting today Tuesday want to let it set for a couple days then back to mowing I live in Indiana and we have been getting quite a bit of rain then sun the grass is growing I think you might be able to sit and watch it grow but I don't have the time! I thinned out my paint with mineral spirits not much just so my spray gun sprayed it nice without running practice on a scrap piece of plastic I have been using empty 2 liter bottles I used to use cardboard but paint absorbs into it, something smooth scrape metal works to have fun you will love the color match Eddie

I know this is an old post, but the info is great for me. I've bought a tractor with some add-ons that at unpainted, and this paint will make it look SO much better.

A belated thanks for sharing the info.
