Thanks everyone!  I found out after I posted that there were 2 different shades of yellow (old and new)!  Glad I got that info.

Tractor supply sells CAT paint in spray bottles. Both new and old. Spray it into an airbrush bottle and go. I've been doing this for years.

Before 1931: Battleship gray with red trim.
1931: Introduction of "Hi-Way Yellow."
1979: Shift to current "Caterpillar Yellow."
