DIY Skid-Steer Restoration from Start to Finish. Bobcat S185 Prep, Paint and Decals.

[@fsoileau]

I am impressed tring to keep it wet with a rattle can.

[@zackzander425]

You did a nice job. I got a 2005 S185 also. Under 1,000 hours still. Paint is still decent. Bobcats age the best with the white paint and often look newer than they are. They don't fade except for the rear door.

Great job!, i have a 06 with 1,700 hrs and its scratched up like yours and im going to re paint it this spring once the snow has stopped ive already bought a few cans of paint and I'll get some more. I bought new rims and tires so they are good. Yours really looks good!.

Awesome job! About to do my Bobcat S130 in bought used.

[@NJ_Pro_Demolition]

That’s funny this video came up I’m currently in the process on restoring / re painting my s185 bobcat as well

[@MrBison700]

Nice man! How far are you on the project?

[@NJ_Pro_Demolition]

@@MrBison700 I bought the machine as a non running project so I rebuilt the motor , and works great ! Some rust but the hardest part of project I’ve had is finding the correct paint . Hard to justify oem paint cost, when it cost more than the rebuild kit

[@MrBison700]

​@@NJ_Pro_Demolition Damn good for you man. Thats a full restoration. How hard wa it to rebuild the engine? How long did it take you? I agree, I just bought a few cans of OEM Bobcat Orange and the rest I used Rust-Oleum, way cheaper.

[@SportsLife247]

I see the Kubota orange for $16 per can on Amazon. Do you think that orange is about same as bobcat orange?

[@jamesdepaul3410]

Great job, fellas. Looks good!

[@220jonnyblaze]

So funny this video popped up, I’m currently repainting my tracked Deere 333G I got at auction, really scratched, but only has 2k hours, painted half the machine, painting the other half after work this week.

[@SportsLife247]

Awesome how it came along. I am about to do a 743 that runs nice just looks rough.

[@hillbillyfranks]

It turned out really nice Enjoy your video catch the next one

[@daredevil3135]

Wow, looks good!!

[@markypee1232]

Nice rig

[@MrBison700]

Thank you Markypee!

[@michaelkoon8371]

Looks great guys

[@FactoryShowtime38]

All that prep work and you guys rattle canned it... 😂😂😂

[@nikond90]

Looks nice. Are you getting a new seat?

[@MrBison700]

Thank you! Yes I am planning on getting a seat made for the model that came from the factory with an enclosed cab.

[@joeyzbf2]

Where did you get the decals? I need for restoration of bobcat S130

[@DropshotVSGames]

what kind of paint and what were the colors called for this?

[@MrBison700]

Hi, I used Bobcat Orange that I bought from their website because it is very hard to match. I used Rust-Oleum Tractor Farm Implement White and Rust Oleum Satin Black for the cab. I can post the links in the description right now.

[@DropshotVSGames]

@@MrBison700 That would be great thank you!

[@SportsLife247]

How many cans of each color?

[@DeepFreeze7]

All that for a rattle can paint job?

[@jamescahill3995]

That's what i was thinking, I am in the middle of doing this but I'm spraying. It's more complicated but seems if you're going to go this far why not make it worth it?
