I use PPG's shopline of paint - Omni. I use Acrylic Urethane for the topcoat and Epoxy for primer. Reasonable (relative) cost, good shine and very durable. Yellow is terrible for coverage, so you may need an additional coat. (with any paint). Good Luck!

I'm a personal fan of IH paint from the dealer. Yes its a little more, but good quality paint, we've done a few of the big tractors and the durablility is great, even though we still use them full time. Another note, yes the yellow covers bad regardless of the type of paint, so I would personally plan on extra coats.

the PPG is good stuff, I have also used sherwin williams 2nd dimension. It's classified I guess as a "fleet model" paint. You can expect to spend a little on reducer and hardener too.
Before you go looking too much at paint you may want to consider your primer and stuff too... if you don't do a better job on prep/primer work than all the money you spend on paint will be wasted.

I agree with the prep/primer. I have mentioned before that I like CAT paint, one of the reasons is that it is self-priming paint. Even if you want a more accurate IH color, the CAT paint is a great primer that is easy to cover with another yellow. paint1024x644.jpg Close enough for my eyes.

I got it at a paint store that carries PPG paint. The tech library probably has the paint codes.
If you go the auto paint route, make sure get primer, hardener, reducer, etc that is all part of the system. If you do what CADplans is suggesting, you may end up with a mess that would all have to be stripped off. Different brands/types of paint are not necessarily compatible, and one type may react with the other. Don't take a chance. I once had a tractor that was painted red over the yellow by the PO, with no primer in between, and it lifted all of the paint off.

depending on how much $$$ you want to go into you may want to use a primer then sealer.... but again, these are GTs, not trailer queens.

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.
