Default Paint alternatives to factory CC paint for 1997 2185?

Hi all, I want to touch up a few areas on my 1997 2185 but I cant bring myself to pay a premium for factory CC spray paint. Based on my research, the factory colors are,

-0499 beige powdered p/n 759-3737
-0498 yellow powdered p/n 759-3588

Anyone know the Majik color equivalent that Tractor supply sells or know another paint brand can color that matches my 1997 colors? Thank you.

This may not help because of matching color but I pretty much use
Irongaurd paint that I get at the Case dealership. I have had really
great results with it. It may not be any more cost effective and it seems the
price has doubled in the last year.
Maybe they have a color that matches your machine.

Majik from Tractor Supply is crap. BTDT. TSC used to sell Valspar paint in rattle cans and it was very good then they get cheap and went to the Majik stuff. Rustolium Painters Touch 2X Ultra Cover Enamel # 249862 gloss Marigold. Is supposed to be a close match with the 82 series yellow.

Thanks for the info. Any substitute for the beige recommendation?

After doing a lot of comparing different colors, these two paints are very good matches to the paint used on my 1997 2185. Hopefully this will help others.

Here is another option for you , the Pantone Matching systems
Pantone 1205C is a good match for the cream colour
Pantone 1235C is a good match for the Yellow colour

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
