What is the proper way to touch up a scuffed area? Sand, then prime, sand again, and paint one coat?

In all seriousness, for a scuff or scratch I wouldn't sand, prime, and paint. You will have a hard time blending the edges, and with fading, it very well might look worse either now or in the future. If your not going to do the entire panel, I would clean the scratch and carefully brush color with a artists brush.

I used Chevy orange from a rattle can to paint an ammo can for my chain(s), and YES it is a match for the KIOTI orange. But the problem is I can't find it from any manufacturer in Chevy orange. Tractor Supply has the Majic brand in AC orange but as it turns out that is "Allis Chalmers" orange. Any idea how close that is to Kioti orange? I am Looking to paint a bushhog that we had some welding done to and I am changing the color from Green to orange and I need more than rattle can coverage.

Have you looked specifically for Chevy Orange Engine paint? I can get it up here in the boonies.

The paint I used to paint the ammo can was engine paint, But I was looking for something a little more robust for painting the bush hog, and other implements. Engine paint with a brush or sprayer may be tough enough for those applications. I do realize that anything (plow, BB, Bush hog, etc..) that contacts the ground, brush etc is going to scuff, chip, and wear but i just figure rattle can paint won't last too far past the effort of prep and paint.
