Very nice results with the rattle cans! Are you going to put a clear on it?

I have no plans for clear. I'm using Meguiars polishing compound for any dull spots. It clears them right up. And Meguiars Ultimate wax does a great job to protect the paint.

Oh my z cub that is a money finish right there and with rattle cans none the less great job. Rustoleum does have a good product but Does go to show that it’s all about the prep as well. Very thorough job

You're not kidding about the prep. I spent many hours during the winter cleaning and sanding. The painting is easy.

I took a look at a lot of different yellows in spray cans and that's the one that I think looks the best. And the beauty of spray cans is that you can touch up any damage fairly easily.

Sorry, I'm not going to be the guy who compliments you on a job well done.
Of coarse it's shiny and nice.... they paint is new. It clearly isn't the right color yellow.

My whole thing is, why take the time to tear a tractor all down, sand it and paint the whole thing one part at a time, and not buy the right color paint? Or use something better to paint it than a rattle can? For the kind of money a can of rattle paint costs, you could have bought at least Case IH Ironguard paint and used a $25 HVLP gun form Harbor Freight and done just as good. At least then it would be the right color.

Sorry, but not sorry. I think any job worth doing, is worth doing right. Not commenting just isn't my personality.

I would rather have a rusty tractor, than one painted that wasn't the right color.

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.
