My tractor is the old Orange and my deck is the new color. I want to paint the deck to match the tractor does anyone have a source or part # for the old. I did a google search and found lots of paint some was labeled new none labeled old.

Jim,

My Kubota dealer still stocks the old Kubota Orange I paint as well as the Orange II. It's about $10 a rattle can and $40 a quart for factory paint.

I bet you could get a paint match from an automotive paint store out of their catalog. They might even be able to color-match something small you could unbolt from your tractor. Its just a one-coat paint. No clear coat.

Thanks for the reply :D, I had not checked at the dealer but using your term Orange 1 and Orange 2 I found some on Amazon that is called Orange 1 .

If you want it to look nice and not fade go by the dealer and get some Kubota paint. TSC has some that matches perfect but it doesn't take long and it turns a reddish pink looking color. The Kubota paint will stay looking good for years.
