If you know the person who sold the tractor, and if he painted it, ask what he used. If it was mixed it has a code. As you have decided, you are not going to match that color with premixed paints, unless it was actually painted with premixed paint. If you can't find the information, use the 861 code, go to PPG. DuPont, etc and used their code. Have a pint mixed first, if it does not match, the dealer can change the toners and get it pretty close. You can also take a small part and get it matched, although this does not always work it may be worth a try. You also need to know if the clear was part of a base clear system, or if it was simply clear coated over single stage paint. As I stated before you need to paint the whole hood, unless the dent is completely isolated, otherwise you will always see where it was touched up. Body shop can do it, you won't like their price. The link, courtesy of Rod(NH), is for PPG codes, the color you want may be there, the PPG codes can be crossed to other brands. This will work ONLY if the tractor was painted with mixed colors.
