I understand that you're a mopar guy but I've read that Chevy engine block orange is a good match. Try some on a piece of scrap first.

Skeets - - not for body touch-ups, but I ‘ve used this a few times and found it to be a really, really close match. Just a little glossy. Tractor Supply.

Chevy engine orange enamel is really close too.

When I needed to paint the expanded metal for my grill, it was hard to find here too. But Tractor Supply had one can left. I don't even think lowes or Home Depot stocks it here. I also had a hard time finding Deere green about 3 months ago. Again, Tractor Supply had one can. I used price match on them both times, because their paint prices are over double compared to Home Depot or Lowes.

Have Valspar in a spray can, and in liquid both XO Rust from True Value and Rustoleum. I use hardener with the latter two. For some implements I restored the two part Pittsburgh AUE coatings worked great.

You could try my local dealer. At $23+ per spray can, he always has lots on hand. ;)

Does anyone know if Kubota or anyone else sells a touch up paint pen kit with both the orange and grey? It may be my OCD, but there are a few dings here and there on my LX2610 that drive me nuts.

A couple of the online places that I checked all look like the are expecting shipments at the mid to end of January.

As with most things, I wonder if paint production is just running behind because of the GREAT pandemic?

Soon after buying my Kubota, I ran across a mom & pop hardware store that was going out of business.
They had a bunch (15-20?) of cans of Allis Chalmers Orange for $1 each, so I bought them all. Pretty close match, at least for the older iron.

TSC (Tractor Supply) has it in Rustoleum and Majic brands. I’ve been disappointed in the Majic brand as for drying-time and shade. The Rustoleum is worth the extra buck or two, IMO.
