2007 b7800 paint questions?

[Nicb7800]

Hello

I have a kubota b7800 tractor that was in a fire I am in the process of painting it all that is when I get it all back together. My question is there are a couple different colors of the kubota orange, I need to paint the tractor,loader and backhoe. Where is the cheapest place to get it and also what color is it exactly?????? Is there a part number for paint? Excuse my lack of knowledge on this particular subject. Any help would be greatly appreciated, also I seen there is a few different colors on eBay? Good or bad? Thank again Nic

Nic - if you search for Kubota Orange you will find this thread. You have the new Kubota Orange on your 7800. If you search for the gray frame paint you should find similar results.

I would not put it back together and paint, but paint everything separately - arms, cylinders, BH parts etc.. If you have the sprayer and a painting area where you can hang them thats best and using a spray gun.

When i restored an L175 I took it all apart to the frame and BH in pieces to a local sandblaster and he also primed and painted everything - cost about $700 for all the orange parts on tractor and BH but was worth it. I sold that one, but kept the scraper blade and its still in great shape today even to it stays outside 8 months of the year and it still looks and holds up good.

A rattle can will work but its not as good looking and will not hold up as long IMO.
