Kubota Orange Paint?

[slewisma]

The Tractor Supply Co. in Merrimack, NH had two series of spray paint on the shelf. an "OEM" series of which the orange seems to match current Kubota and also a "Restoration" series which might cover the older Kubota but I don't have first hand knowledge on that one.

Thank you for this info, I'll stop by TSC on the way home and see.

I have had good luck going to a auto paint supply house here and they can match any paint that I have wanted. The place I go in Manchester, NH is Robbins Auto Parts on South Willow.

They can mix it for you and put it in an aerosol spray can (if you want), pint, quart or gallon sizes, and they even have a CO2 type spay painter that I bought to paint the bug deflector for my pickup truck.

The paint I recently bought from then included the hardener and the thinner so all I had to do was spray it on, no mixing at home.

Worked out great for me!

On the advise of others on this list, I stopped at Tractor Supply Co, and looked at the Valspar paints. They didn't have any Kubota Orange in the "Restoration Series", but the have two Kubota Oranages.

"Kubota Orange", 5339-24
and
"New Kubota Orange", I think the number was 5339-27, I'm not sure.

Anyway, the color on the caps was the same, but I picked up a can of the 5339-24, and brought it home and tried it on a piece of cardboard as a test. It looks pretty close to the orange on my '80 B7100 (which is what I wanted it for).

I'm guessing the "New Kubota Orange" is the darker color my '98 B7100, and my G1800S are.

Guys,
I know this is an old post but has anyone else tried the rustoleum charcoal gray to paint there ROPS? How did you like it? Mine is getting really rusty.

I used it on some forks I made. I haven't checked it directly against the gray on the tractor, but with a little distance between the gray items it looks ok but a little glossier than the factory paint.

I would be ok with a little bit glossier. It beats dull rust!

Lowe's has this Valspar "Autumn Crush" 65077. It's not their Orange, it is right next to the Orange on the shelf.

Not bad for $3.44 versus $11.50 for the Kubota paint.


As far as the two Valspar Kubota oranges listed on the TSC website, Manufacturers Number: 5339-27 and Manufacturers Number: 5339-24 , which one is the old and which one is the new color? They don't even give you a clue on the website, and the Valspar site is also no help.

I just bought Valspar "Orange" at Lowes. It's a bit lighter of an orange than your Autumn Crush but the only other Valspar orange I saw was noticeably darker than Kubota Orange (I had a cap from an old Kubota Orange spray can with me). May have to go back and check for that Autumn Crush. Haven't used the Valspar cans yet so I should be able to exchange them. I'm using it to paint my very used Woods back blade so it doesn't have to match exactly, but now you've got me wanting to take another look at Lowes. Thanks, I think.

It was right between the orange and the red on the shelf at my Lowe's.
