I am not sure it is legal to paint a King Kutter with Kubota orange - If it is it really shouldn't be :laughing:

R-i-i-ight... because KK Yellow is such a trophy color...

I hope quarts of the orange are still available at my local TSC, because I was really planning on getting some...

Had to pick up a part yesterday and saw at least 5 spray cans each of old and new orange on the shelf.

Checked TSC in Maine.
Kubota Orange spray cans still off shelf, they had Qt cans still on display.
Checked out VIP chevy engine orange and Walmart chevy engine orange,
Walmart's apears to be a closer match for my 5 year old Kubota.

At Tractor Supply today (Northeast Texas) Kubota Orange in spray cans are not on the shelf. Shelf is marked for the paint but big empty space. This paint was a very close match plus it is cheaper then the factory paint so I hate to see it missing

What is going on:confused2:

Have used a few different cheaper paints a few years ago on some implements and one of them has faded to a light beige instead of the orange.
Have found that the Van Sickle paints are a better match, while not cheap they are cheaper than Kubota. Have bought both spray and quart cans.

I too have been using the Van Sickle paint for a while on my kubota stuff and have been really pleased with the match.

So... does ordering from them simply involve a phone call & credit card?
They don't appear to have an online ordering system.

Tried to get some Kubota orange paint (spray can) from TSC here in Maine, and the stuff's been pulled off the shelf in at least 3 of the stores, in Maine. Folks in the store claim they don't know why, just told not to sell it until further notice.
Also called Lowes and asked about Valspar "Autumn Crush" 65077, they don't have it on their shelf
and the #65077 is not in their computer data base.
I guess Walmart's Orange Chevy Engine will be my next try.

I just ran into that here also. Have a project that's needs another can to finish up and I had been checking Lowe's for a few weeks and the shelf was empty. Then a week or so ago, there were three cans on the shelf but when I took it to the register to cash out, they told me they could not sell it. I have not been back to TSC to check as the Valspar New Kubota orange is twice the price of the Valspar Autumn Crush. I think it is a conspiracy!:confused2::laughing:
