Can I sand this paint down a bit and then spray on top of it or do I need to sand it down to bare metal? Also, what type of paint should I use? Cub Cadet sells the original enamel, but how does that perform compared to an entry level automotive paint such as PPG Omni?

Does anyone have any tips related to spraying?



Thanks,

Marshall here's the paint codes. They use the serial number of your tractor to get the correct paint colors. Once you get that info you can cross refrence the paint to diffrent paint makers.

I'm not a painter so can't provide any tips but we have some real pro's here that can lay down the paint with the best of them.
