Hi Guys,
I decided to use rattle cans to paint my 1772 but I am having trouble finding the right yellow and white in rattle cans. What type and brand is your all's favorite?

IF.............you want the exact color, then the Case/IH or Cub Cadet Dealer is your choice.

IF........you are willing to accept "close matches", the TSC is an acceptable choice.

Then there is always your local hardware or big box store.

In the restoration tips forum, there's all kinds of posts about paint for you to go through. There's a lot of good information in there about paint. HTH https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...splay.php?f=20

Here is some good reading on my 1572 and 1772, that I bought back from Diesel Doctor. Should help answer some questions and things you should address. Also you might want to combine your questions to one thread instead of starting a thread for each question.

I wouldn't do rattle cans. If you have an air compressor, go buy this $16 HVLP gun from Hazard Freight.

https://www.harborfreight.com/20-oz-...gun-62300.html

Then with the codes below, go to an IH dealer or automotive paint supply house and get the correct paint and supplies to spray it. This paint is 10 times better than rattle bombs will ever be and last longer.

Spraying paint is intimidating but once I did it I learned it much easier and you can put a better finish coat that will last a lot longer than the rattle bombs. Good luck and feed us some pics.

Looks like a knock-off of the Ingersol Rand HVLP I bought at Tractor Supply several years ago. I agree with OAK, if that works half as good as mine you will never regret it. The quality of finish is light years better than spray cans. You are also not limited by the colors that are available in spray cans. I sand blast virtually everything I can, prime with Rustoleum rusty metal primer, and then spray a light coat followed by a heavier coat or two. I did these for my IH 244 Compact using the HVLP.

I did the cub spray paint on my 1772 and it looked great, for a year, then it all peeled off. Now, I’ve painted many projects with different brands of paint and never had an issue like this, but I’ve had the cub paint peel in different colors and on different surfaces (touch ups etc) on many occasions. I would do as others have said and get a spray gun. This is how my 1772 looked before, I was to sad to take a picture of it with the peeling paint

Rattle cans are alright for touch ups. I use one on my zero turn edge of the deck that always gets scratched up during the season of mowing, but to do an entire tractor will just lead to a loss of time and maybe pride, as Cub123 already attested to. Oak gave you some really good advice (echoed by others) that if you really want a nice job, then make a small investment in the right equipment (be sure to wear proper respirator and goggles). It will be a longer lasting, better looking, and cheaper in the long run (especially when you factor in your labor)!

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.
