You'll have to get it color matched.
Find a good automotive paint shop, one with a competent paint tech.
I don't have a formula to give you as this was matched by eye, not machine.

If you want a quality finish, one that will last, use an automotive grade paint. I used and acrylic urethane. The oil based products are crap, they take forever to dry, stay soft, and fade quickly.

Thanks for the Information.
I added power steering to my B7100 and I am wanting to paint the brackets I made, I found some rattle can Blue that matches the old kubota frame color and would like to find some to match the new (gray) color. I am not painting on the tractor just brackets so I not looking for the best paint , just some thing easy to use and matches close. I guess I can take a piese off the tractor and take it to be color matched . I just thought some one on here might know of a color that they use.

No, I could not find the gray/blue color either.

You could take the door off the compartment under the fuel tank and go to a regualar paint store and have them color match a quart of industrial oil-based paint.......cost you about $12-$18.

Could you please post some pics of your power steering set up?

I am painting my B7100 ('93) and am using base/clear. I have the matched paint for Nason (dupont) if you are interested. It is a formula for a quart.


Let me know if you are interested. I also have the oranged matched as well.

I like your homemade fork setup. That is a neat idea. I will plan on making myself one this summer. Thanks for the pictures.
