my local t.s.c store carries the kubota orange in the spray can as well as a quart an gallon .that way you can either brush or use an automotive type spray gun an apply it that way.i prefer to use the spray gun ,you get a smoother finish .

I also had no success in finding the correct paint at any of the big box stores, nor at the paint store. As you probably know, Kubota changed their orange paint in the last couple of years. The old orange is simply called 'Kubota Orange'. The new color is 'Kubuta Bright Orange'. And they are definitely different in shades of orange. The local TSC store had plenty of the older Kubota Orange, but no Kubota Bright Orange.

So, I started to order a quart of the new Kubota Bright Orange at the Kubota dealer and discovered that it was $38/quart! I passed on that, buying only 1 spray can of it for a measly $11/can.

I took the spray can directly to Sherwin Williams paint store to order a quart or two. After numerous attemps to match the color and content, they gave up. Said they simply COULD NOT blend a match. I inspected each batch that they came up with, and certainly agree that they couldn't.

Perhaps Kubota is trying to pull in all parts and supplies back in the distributors, for whatever reason...

Do they have the Spray cans in stock?

My local TSC has had the paint and I have bought several cans, but now the slots are empty for the Kubota Orange.

Perhaps Kubota does not like for anybody to put their name (Kubota) on a product that is not licensed by Kubota. Threat of a lawsuit will result in that product being pulled from the market place. Thus, no more Kubota labeled paint except at a Kubota dealer.

There seems to be plenty of the original Kubota Orange around here, both in spray cans or otherwise. But not the Kubota Bright Orange - which is the color of the newer tractors.

I'm sure it won't be long before the Bright is readily available. Paint formulas are hard to keep a secret. SW said it wasn't the color that was difficult, but the high acrylic + ??? that was their problem. They'll get it worked out, I'm sure.

What year did Kubota switch to the new orange versus the old orange. I have a B2910 - would this be the old orange?
