Default How much paint do I need for a 1650
Guys,

Will a pint of white and yellow do a full-repaint on the 1650 or do I need a quart of each?

Do you intend to take the whole frame apart or do it like some guys do and just paint everything assembled? I am in the process of doing a 148 and EVERYTHING was taken apart and sandblasted. (A new thread will be started soon). It took 1.5 qts. of yellow to do the frame and fenders. Over 1 qt. for the white if you do all at the same time plus several cans of spray paint. I used Case IH yellow and CC white w/ reducer and hardener.

Quart of each minimum. I used about 95% of a qt for the orange on my Sears Suburban including the frame, fenders (less surface than Cub fenders), suspension and engine. I did rattle can the transaxle. I really should have sprayed the rest of the qt on the fenders and wound up with an empty can.

The finish you are expecting also dictates how much paint you will use.

This is not just 2 coats of paint.



Luckily the "run" will be under the fenders!!

I would rather have some orange peel than thin paint.

ok...If I might ask??? Where do people buy paint? I rebuilt a Cub a few years ago and I think the NY dealer hit me for $55/qt.

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.
