Krylon K01954008 Farm & Implement Spray Paint, High Gloss, New Kubota Orange, 12 oz(340 grams)

Krylon is by far the best most user-friendly spraypaint you can buy

I bought this to fix scratches on a Kubota FEL. The paint matched extremely closely- I'd say indistinguishable from 6 feet but very, very minor difference when inspecting it up close (probably only noticeable to someone who is extremely picky). It's a tractor, who cares. It got the job done, looks fantastic, and it's holding up very nicely.

Perfect match for kubota orange

Great paint but the color wasn't an exact match to my kubota tractor. It was close but my tractor seems to be a darker orange.

Appearance.

I painted my lift arms, my car trailer, my bench top and other farm implements. It doesn’t come off without a sander or grinder. And UV won’t fade it or dull the gloss. I painted straight on metal, no problem. This stuff will stick. You will need to use a drop cloth, and tape everything off overspray will get everywhere. But it wears like iron. Clean up with enamel reducer. Fabulous product!

Because it does not contain isocyanates, I really wanted this product to work well, but in the end was disappointed. I am restoring an early Barracuda and wanted a paint hardener to add to the Rustoleum Professional semi-gloss black paint I used to coat the chassis and suspension components. I bought both the Krylon and Valspar hardeners, and conducted tests using both on primed sheet metal scrap pieces. I tested the Krylon product first, and did three tests mixtures with it. Two of the tests were mixed 1:16 Krylon hardener/paint, the third with 1:8 Krylon hardener/paint. The first two tests were to determine how it would affect the sheen as I wanted to maintain a semi-gloss finish. Since I noticed the paint was not curing hard on the first two test pieces after three days, I mixed a third batch , this time 1:8 Krylon/paint, thinking a higher concentration would help, but it did not. As I write this, the test pieces are 17 days old, and I can still put a slight groove in the paint test panels with my thumbnail, not any better than the paint only control sample. The Valspar performed much better. The first Valspar test I mixed at 1:8 Valspar/paint, and within 24 hours, it was very difficult to mark the paint, within two days, it was as hard as powder coat. Thinking I could cut back a bit on the mixture, I did another mix, at a 1:12 Valspar/paint mixture. This time I sprayed my parts with it. Its been 3 days since application on my parts and the end result is like the first Valspar test, which shows Valspar to be much much more durable than Krylon, I can still mark the Krylon test pieces with my nail after 17 days. Valspar is the clear winner, It cures like powder coat. Yes, you must use the proper PPE when spraying, a good fitting respirator with both particulate and organic vapor cartridges, I bought a 3M unit. I also wore a Tyvek paint suit with hood available from Sherwin Williams, Home Depot, Lowes, etc. I realize that Krylon does not represent this product to work with paints other than its own brand, but many people are using Valspar with Rustoleum with good results, and may be considering the Krylon as a replacement.

Perfect color.

Works great when paired with rustoleum and a hvlp gun

I use for clear ...very very great product

Exactly as described

Works as advertised to make Farm and Implement Paint harder and dry faster. Why can't they find a way to include this in the original paint formula so you do not have to add it or mix it?

I used it with Tremclad mixed with proportion recommended on label. Didn't notice any difference from straight tremclad.
