Loader Kioti paint

Which rattle can paint is close to the black/gray on the late model Kioti's?
My quick search here says Rustoleum #7784 charcoal gray is a match?
and lets not repeat the back & forth from the color blind members here?...

I have to admit I have not been able to find a rattle can to match the dark gray paint on my NX4510. The Duplicolor Chevrolet Orange was a good match for the orange. It's a touch darker than the orange on the hood, but it's barely noticeable. For the gray, I started with implement gloss black and it very evident the tractor was actually a dark gray when testing the gloss black. I then tried "dark ford gray", but it was too light. From this thread, I tried the Rustoleum #7784, but it was still way too light. I want to weld a chain grabber hook on the top-center of the bucket which has me on the pursuit to find a matching paint.

I haven't tried any rattle cans as yet except a tad of Kioti dealer paint I got with my newish DK35SE. it was a can old the old lighter gray (used some on my old tractor for detailing the backend) and a can of the OE orange.

I have been searching (somewhat halfheartedly at times) for a match to the 2013 blue-grey chassis paint to no avail. The local dealer inquired to Kioti Corporate and they discontinued that color many years ago. Sheesh. Kioti makes a really good tractor but has no idea about certain other things, like providing touch-up paint for even recent models (or even a paint code that could be matched). Details, details Kioti, c'mon!

I tried Deutz blue-grey and it is not quite right. It does perfectly match the paint on my 1987 Deutz that I recently sold.

I've done much auto body work and paint codes can be hard to learn on many things. Motorcycles are an easy e.g. as nearly all of them have no code. Specialty paint places have a corner on matched paint for them. It's not handy for an easy touch-up rattle can source but any auto paint supplier can match paint if it matters enough to take them an unfaded part with the color on it & it's done everyday by those guys. They use a camera gizmo that does the matchup/formula for them. Even many coomonly seen cars willl have 3 or more paint formulas for the same color in a model year. I did mostly BMW and they have fewer colors than many mfg but still some ins 7 outs to matching. Some brands of paint match certain brands of vehicle better too, aside from the painters preference for a paint barnd spraying better, covering better, etc..
blue grey??? on what Kioti??? My 2011 DK35SE has the dark charcoal grey chassis and orange body metal & loader.
