I agree with the above, two cans minimum!
Lowes has a great match for deere yellow (and green) and its about 6$ a can!
And the lowes paint seems to work rather well, seems to fade faster than "normal"...
.
Thanks for this info. Any chance you happen to have the color code for Lowe's match to the JD green and yellow?
(Also, did you mean to say that it "seems to fade slower than normal"? Or ? I'm new to this so enlighten me. Thanks.)
One can won't do it, especially in yellow. Yellow paint doesn't seem to cover as well as darker colors, so more coats tend to be needed at least in my experience. If doing both side of the front blade, I'd probably get 3 cans to avoid the extra trip to the store when the second can runs dry just before you finish the job.

I have a # 43 blade that I was thinking of trying my first "restore" on. Assuming I strip and prime it properly, would one rattle can of JD yellow be enough for two light coats on the blade? By extension I would expect that one can of green would paint the manual angle kit.
Wasn't the manual angle kit for the #43 black? I thought the green was only used on attachments for the round fender tractors and they used black on the square fenders and newer?
Maybe it is supposed to be black, but it's green now. It may have been repainted in the past. This is a brass tag blade that came with a '68 112H. I don't know if it matters but the blade seems at least a couple inches taller than my other model 43 blade, and I don't think it's just the worn scraper edge.
