Valspar CC Spray Paint
I'm checking out the paint chart on the forum here, and can't really seem to match it up with the Valspar spray paint carried by my local Tractor Supply Co, shown here:
http://tinyurl.com/3pkhjgo They show CC yellow, and CC beige, and they also have IH white. My mid 70's QL1000 doesn't appear to be a pure white, but I didn't really consider it beige. Anyway, I'm only going to use it to touch up scratches and chips, with a Q-tip or artist brush, and maybe re-spray some spare wheels. Has anyone tried the Valspar colors from TSC? ...and does anyone know whether to use CC beige or IH white for my model? Thanks. Josh P

The CC beige will be the closest. I am like Matt, I think the CC yellow is for the much newer style cub colors, not quite what is on these older cubs.

I repainted my 128 with the Valspar from TSC. It is great paint! But the yellow is a shade lighter but you wet sand it then repaint it is the right shade.Use ih white on the white parts not cc baige. The ih white is the right color for the white and is the right shade.

it looks rediculous wet. That Valspar paint I mean. Definitely gets lighter as it dries. Use light colored primer under it for a more pure color. The colored primers tint the paint. It all adds up.

Those wheels look nice. Thx for the pic.
I just picked up a can of each color at TSC. It's too cold outside to try them, but the cap on the beige looks identical to my wheels and hood when I hold it next to them. The cap to the yellow has a bit more of an orange-ish tint than the stock color, but that's just the caps. When the weather warms up, I'll give them a try. I may even mix a little white into the yellow and try to match up the color. I'm only touching up some 1/4" to 3/8" sized nicks around the fenders and foot treads. That yellow from farmallparts.com looks like it could be the right shade. Would be nice to have a quart of that for touching up scratched areas. JP

Guitar Guy,
Save your $$ on the yellow. It is for the newer cubs made in the last couple of years. I have used it before and it will stick out like a soar thumb!! It matches my zero turn cub nicely, but looks nasty on the older cubs!!! You won't be touching anything up with it, you'll only be calling attention to it more. Besides, it is about $5.00 for a 12 oz. spray. You can pay about $27.00 for a quart of the right color and then you'll have it on hand for the touch up spots in the future. I've used both and regretted that I ever spent the $5 on the yellow spray can. Cub Cadet 123

Yes, I returned the yellow. I kept the beige because I'll use it on something around here. Still not sure if the IH white will match better for wheels, or the beige. I'll just have to wait till it warms up and try it. It's been wet and cold around here.
I guess I'll spring for the quart can of yellow later on, even though I only need about a shot glass full. Would be nice to go halfs or thirds with someone ... maybe I'll check with some local guys. Thx for the opinions. JP

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.
