What kind of paint do you guys use?

Did you try using the white primer under the cat yellow to try lightening it up any? Or is the yellow primer the way to go.

The cat yellow in the picture has Rustoleum Auto Gray Sand able primer underneath same for the Valspar cub cadet yellow . I did not try to lighten it . Just sprayed both the same for a comparison .
I will say in my opinion the TSC Valspar is the better color match to the original IH paint color ( 123 ). But you can only tell this in direct sunlight . When I had the parts drying in the garage next to each other they looked extremely close hard to see a difference in color. I also think I am not trying to win any awards but to protect my 40 year old tractor , it cuts grass . The only way anyone could tell if the Old Cat Yellow was not original to this tractor is if a correctly painted Tractor was sitting alongside for a direct comparison . That said ,
My thinking for now since I have both colors and yellow covers so poorly , Primer first, Cat Yellow for my second coat and finish coat will be the TSC Valspar cub cadet yellow.
