I just today finish painting my loader bucket... a 2004 LA723 loader, but the inside was pitted- I guess the last owner hauled manure? but otherwise in pretty good shape. I had needle scaled and wire brushed it, cleaned it up, and primed it with two part epoxy primer (I really like that stuff) and I figured the nice weather would last long enough to paint it. I used most of a quart of Kubota paint... it covered nicely when sprayed, but I had tried to brush some on something else, and wouldn't recommend brushing. In fact, the paint says to spray, not brush or roll.
As I had written on another's thread, the two tow hooks came from Harbor Freight, as did the inside D ring (not yet installed when I took the pics- it didn't get painted) and I put on the lift ring, something I have hauled around for many years, and I guess I figured why not- it might come in useful for something? Once the paint hardens, I have to start scraping it off, picking up some firewood from trees that came down this winter.
