Case 580CK, Bobcat 7753
I have an old Case 580CK backhoe that I've recently acquired, it's been beat up over the years and needs some work. Right now I'm building a cover for the battery box so I'm not stepping on the battery every time I get into the thing.

Does anyone know some close rattle-can paints for it? There are two colors, an orange/red and a yellow, I'd love to know options for each as multiple parts need cleaning/painting/repairing/welding/etc. I don't want to mix paints at this point in the venture, this backhoe is in for a couple more years of hard work before I can give it a break and restore it. I just want something close so the repaired/cobbled parts don't completely stand out from the rest.

Rustoleum has a ton of color choices, that should be close enough. The original colors are faded good, I assume. Big box stores (green, orange or blue) stocks lots. That would be my first visit. If you can post a picture, we maybe could give a better guess.

Tractor supply has the rattle can Yellow.. I call it burnt yellow.
I haven’t been able to find the “orange” so I just use Chevy orange..

Years back that yellow was called Industrial Yellow (J.I.) Case Tractor B13033 Industrial Yellow Precisely Matched For Spray Paint and Touch Up

The red is known as Flambeau Red https://www.https://www.myperfectcolor.com/paint/383995-j.i.-case-tractor-b13033-industrial-yellowmyperfectcolor.com/paint/384004-j.i.-case-tractor-b13007-flambeau-red/spray-oem-bottles-and-pens/aerosol-spray-paint/custom

Looking around most rattle can prices are from $9.50 and up. Not sure what shipping would be, but the above vendor is in line with those prices.

I'll definitely use them for repainting the entire thing when I get to that point, but the $30 "batch fee" kinda kills the deal there.

Gotta' admit, I didn't see the batch fee. But at least you have the OEM color name to look for.
