[QUOTE="soutthpaw, post: 27891, member: 2815"] having just repainted the charcoal and orange parts on my 753 which you can see here: [URL='https://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=54&frmView=ShowPost&PostID=27441']http://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=54&frmView=ShowPost&PostID=27441[/URL] I found that the Factory Bobcat premixed quarts of orange and charcoal worked very well.. sprayed easily with an HVLP gun. would probably do just as well with the standard spray gun... it also dries to the touch in 15 mins... it ranges from $18 to about $25 per quart... I was able to paint the rear door and wheels with multiple passes ... about 4 or 5 coats with a single quart of paint... also got the bucket, stabilizers and ROPS done with a single quart, however the ROPS could use a couple more coats to get that new gloss look but for what I needed it worked fine... You get much thicker coats and better coverage using a spray gun and air compressor than you do with a throw away can of spray paint..... for the cost I recommend using the OEM paint... is the $5 or $10 you save trying to get a non original paint match really worth the time and effort and savings over the factory stuff???
