Paint colors for 1983/4 Gilson?

Recommended Posts

My buddy has an early 80s Gilson Lawn and garden tractor. Wants to freshen it up a bit. 

 

Is the white simply a bright white?

 

Is there a close match to the original orange available in a spray can?

 

Thanks all!!

Orange is a color that always seems to fade.  I redid an old simplicity 700 wonderboy, I used a/c orange from tractor supply in a spray can, that was a really nice color and covered well, instead of white I used the antique white, came out sharp, too bad I sold it

He's thinking it's an off white originally. 

 

Lighter shade of tan than a Wheelhorse wheel bit not a true bright white.
