What paint do you use to match Kubota orange?

I bought a quart of the Kubota paint from the dealer for $35 only because I didn't know much about alternative paints. Thinned it out and was able to paint a Meteor snowblower from red to orange with 2 coats. Looks pretty nice.

I took one of the front wheels off my bota, brought it into my local auto paint supplier and he scanned the inner rim with some sorta light pen connected to his computer (on a nice clean painted area, unaffected by UV). He was able to mix up as many rattle cans of the paint as I wanted for not much more than the cost of an off the shelf rattle can! Now I have the code, I can just order up what I need when I need it. For touch up, a rattle can is the way to go.
It sprays on good and matches the existing paint very well. Not as glossy as a professional spray painter would apply, but.... its a tractor.

And my wife said its a good match, so if it gets passed my wife and her "keen eye" for colour coordination, then its good.

When painting larger ares like welded on angle iron. Are you guys putting down a coat of primer before the orange paint?
