- Kubota has been know for paint and rust issues but typically its been on older models. I was excited to to purchase my lightly used 2020 L2501 and not deal with any restoration... well, 2 years old and I'm already dealing with rust!

I totally agree, they rust and crack early.
You’re still going to see those spots you sanded, didn’t go far enough. Looks better than I thought it would.
Can you see them in person?
I’m picky with my tractor as well. 1988 and still pretty. But I do want to freshen up the paint. Even kept inside they dull over time. It’s because Kubota uses terrible paint.
Dude after watching that video your tractor must have been left Outdoors or exposed to something didn't make sense. Went and checked my 2020 l2501 and I have rust starting in the exact same spot. My tractor has been undercover since I purchased it. Thanks for the video
Yeah man it’s kind of disappointing because overall I love Kubota’s products. They really need to start dipping all their panels (primer) like the automotive industry. Also an extra layer or 2 of orange paint would be nice too lol
@@RaztechPowersports disappointing indeed! I baby that dang thing and to see rust, form like that literally on the exact same spot on the hood definitely a deffect. Agreed on both points. Well i guess I'll start buying the product you suggest to slow this down. Have a good Memorial brother
@@deerrudy yes indeed and happy Memorial Day to you as well 🇺🇸
I live in the humid south. I just sold my L3301 that stayed outside uncovered for 6 years, and it didn’t have any rust. That’s strange you have that.
Man I’ve had a hand full of these kubotas and I haven’t been that impressed with any of there paint quality 🙃
I was looking for the thinner you used and ratios. Lacquer thinner at ~25%? Thanks.
I can’t remember the exact ratio, but it took a fair amount for it to spray through the gun smoothly
Raztech - what brand of paint did you use . Was there a color formula or was this a custom match . It appears this was a single stage . Would suggest you try bleeding agent like blendall by grow corporation for soft edge blending . Any review for the performance increase for the fuel pump timing . Agree that Kubota paint is crap .
I ended up using the OEM Kabota paint. Yes it is a single stage but I put down 4 coats. I feel that part of the problem with the factory paint job is that it is simply too thin. I’m actually going to try to get it hooked up to a pto dyno next week. So far the performance is much better!
I don’t like Kubota paint. When I repaint my L2850 I’ll be doing a base coat with clear coat.
I considered that as well.
Maybe you guys need to wax your tractors their metal what did you expect really
Wax won’t help thin paint and raw steel. I do buff it once a year tho
