Default Is OEM paint worth it

I picked up a can of OEM white and Yellow today. Up until now I have been using up the Valspar I bought at tractor supply before they stopped selling it. Both the white and the yellow were close but still off a little. I guess not bad if you paint an entire panel or tractor But as for touch up not really good. I use an airbrush to touch up and I have to say the OEM is dead on. I was worried at $15.00 a can but for what I am doing I think well worth it. If I was doing an entire tractor I might not want to spend that much but then again I would not use rattle cans. I do have a spray gun and I guess you could buy a quart of OEM and thin it. I have never been brave enough to try. I have no idea how to set the gun up and how to thin the paint I am sure it is second nature for a lot of you guys. 70 today 40 and rain tomorrow
