Scruffs on MMM, and FEL. What to do about them?

[Steelfan]

I have a few questions for some of the seasoned Tractor Owners. I'm currently doing my spring time duties to make sure my tractor is ready to mow. I have some pretty good paint scruff marks on my FEL, and MMM. I don't want them to rust. Should touching up the paint on these parts be done? Also can I get paint to match in a auto parts store, or do I have to get it from NH? The FEL is black, and I would think be fairly easy to match, but the MMM is NH Blue. Any suggestions?? Thanks.

Kent,

I'm not any more seasoned than you are, but do plan on touching up the paint thsi spring, I've got a surprising amount of rust on the bucket from plowing 8 feet of snow this winter. I plan on stopping in at the dealer the next time I'm near buy for the paint, as we don't have any TSC's nearby.

NH blue is the easiest way to match the color. Be sure to carry a guard or something with you to the dealership when you go to buy the paint, NH has different shades of blue.

Hi Hazmat,

Sorry about not getting back here sooner. I've got some rust too on my FEL from this hard winter. I'm definitely going to touch up the FEL Bucket. MMM is another matter. I may wait till after season to work on that. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks Bgott, I'll take my guard with me when I go for paint.
