If I worked on more cubs and had more space then it would be more clear for me to go gun but I'm just not there yet and the convenience of just shaking and shooting some color is kind of nice
Dupli-Color School bus yellow part number DA1663. List price is $5.79, I paid under $4.00 per can at O'Reilly's (guy that runs the store takes good care of me) so far I've used about 1 and 1/2 cans of primer and 2 and 1/2 cans of yellow. So far I like the Dupli-Color better than any of the other stuff I've used. Wish they made it for the newer Cubs. (edit this is not an exact match for the color used on the O's, it's close but not exact. But Cub wanted over $14.00 a can for what they sell and I have never been impressed with Cub rattle can paint)

Welded the broken fender support, wet sanded the fenders and primered them.
Now I'm going to sit back and watch the Cup kids wreck at Pocono.

Fenders are painted and back on the tractor. Stripped the hood today, what a PITA should have just sand blasted it with the pressure washer sandblaster. Wet sanded the wheels and have them ready to prime and paint. Broke all the beads on the tires so they should be easy to paint. Sorry no pics today.

Looked like Daytona. My all time favorite track this weekend. I probably have over 5000 miles on WGI.

Got the hood and fronts wheels painted yesterday. Used some Valspar IH white that I bought at TSC before they switched to the Majic crap. I have enough for the rear wheels but not sure I have enough for the seat and grill. Probably will need to find a place to order a couple more cans. I had the wheels set up so that I could spin them as I painted. Worked out slick and no runs.

Have you ever noticed how some people can just see a simple solution and deploy it????
These people usually make me sick and then I appreciate that they share their ideas with pictures.
That cardboard paint stopper is an excellent idea and seemed to work well. I've used paper towels and tape before so I could get the thin paper down as much as possible between the rim and tire but I think the cardboard is adequate and much easier to work with. Thanks for the picture Sam.

Do you let the air out of the tire so you can position the cardboard easier?

I agree. Great tips here Sam! I'm also wondering how much air did you have to let out? I would like the exact PSI level of each tire please HAHAHA just kidding but would like to know if that was the case. Those beads get pretty tight. I'm also pleased to see how well this is coming out with just rattle cans! When you find a place that sells the paint you are using could you please offer up a link. I would like to purchase some white and yellow for my 73 since that is going to get an overhaul this winter.

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.
