I prefer Rustoleum Sunrise Red for small parts and touch up. It's pretty ding-dang close to the Oxblood.

Because no one wants to pay 35.00 a qt or 18.00 for a rattle can of the same quality of tsc's 15.00 and 7.00 paint.

I shoot my stuff with $100 (or more) a gallon paint so I guess I just don't get it....... Tried the "cheap" stuff. Takes too long to dry, fades, scratches easily. I only want to paint something once in 10 or 15 years. Not saying rattle cans don't have a place, but not for restoration, complete paint jobs, hoods and the like. Again, just my I won't comment anymore.

I've used Rust-Oleum industrial spray paint in cans from Lowes. Not much color selection but appears to be good stuff as far as spray cans go. I wouldn't hesitate to use the black on frames and engines of working equipment. I painted a metal handrail with it and after 2 years it is still looking great. If I were making a trailer queen, I'd consider shooting everything with automotive paint from a spray gun.

Well not to upset anyone, but if the deal is 100 miles away. you can get it shipped. But the last I knew you can get color matched paints in a rattle can from Napa. Like I said the last I knew they did that.

Case IH branded paint is actually DuPont it is much nicer but, I'd have to drive an hour to get it whereas TSC is 5 minutes away.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
