Who sells the dark yellow metal paint used on Cats and other digging

Go to a real paint store. Very often they will have access to color
formulations not shown on the charts. My local Benjamin Moore dealer
(Paint & Paper, Emerson, NJ) seems to be able to duplicate most
everything.

For automotive paints, body shop suppliers and automotive stores are
far better choices than the traditional "flat work" paint vendors.
While some like PPG make both, others only formulate one or the other
and few regular paint stores deal with automotive paints. Not that
they can't duplicate the coulor, but it's readily available from the
right channels and formulated for the purpose whereas house paint
isn't...

You wouldn't be getting a house paint. You'd be getting an OB
maintenance coating, suitable for machinery painting. I didn't think
I'd have to be that specific but apparently that is required here.

The moniker guided the response but still would tend to go to an
automotive supplier rather than the "traditional" paint store. But,
larger markets than I'm used to probably have better choices for them
that would have such in stock. Don't think there's a chance it would
be available at the paint stores here...
