Holy crap Batman, $56 for 1 12oz can of Kioti paint? Who pays that price? Has me rethinking a small dime sized chip...

Kubota orange was nearly as pricey. F them. I googled around and found a guy showing alternative spray paint that matched the color. Only problem is it fades in a yr or two so you have to keep putting on fresh paint 
I'm going to see if manual has a paint code, then take to a paint shop. I have never seen a 12 oz can for more than $15. I'm sure they can justify the price, somehow.
This is a brand new tractor. Still has 2 hours on it. I get it's a tractor, which is why I didn't say anything on delivery. Had I known the price of touch up, I woulda/shoulda/coulda worked one for free. I'm not concerned about rusting, as it's at least 1/4" thick steel. Just don't want paint flaking off. Maybe I should just take it out while it's still muddy, that'll cover it up.

All paint has gone through the roof on price. Back when I was painting cars, a gallon of premium acrylic black was around $130. Plus you had the thinner and hardener that added another $50-$60. That was high back in the 90s and early 2000s. Today, that paint isn't even available and the nearest replacement paint is about $1200 per gallon.
I was able to score two spray cans of factory Ford Blue for my 3910 a few months ago. IIRAC, it was around $56 on eBay. I was happy to get it. I just used some of it yesterday to touch up the shift tower cover.

I have bought spray paint at Tractor Supply in the past for a reasonable price. Not the OEM but just as good.

Another advantage of sticking to large brands. I walked into a Tractor Supply store last year and bought a can of New Holland Blue paint for a song and was on my way....
