The paint looks pretty good on your 195D!
I recently repainted my 1500D. The paint on mine was in good shape overall (especially considering the age of the tractor), but my front rims had very little paint left on them. That is where I started the repainting. It 'snowballed' from there to every other body panel and the rear wheels. I ultimately ended up with a complete tractor repainting. All green parts were sandblasted and painted while most black parts were just cleaned and painted.
I went to one of my local auto/industrial paint stores and had the paint custom mixed to match a bit of what was left on one of the front rims, as that was the easiest part to carry in. I went with an industrial coating over an automotive paint because it was a good bit cheaper. I had only a quart mixed at a time but used nearly a whole gallon by the time the tractor was finished.
The shop selected a PPG brand Commercial Performance Coatings (CPC) Green and tweaked the color additives/pigments to get a final color to very closely match the original Yanmar Green. The PPG CPC breakdown/formula was as follows (for one quart):
Formula Name: GREEN
Resin: ALK-200 FULL GLOSS (Acrylic Modified Alkyd Enamel)
HD-10-GRN 5.05g (4.05g base + 1.0g additional to tweak the 'base green' for the Yanmar Green)
HP-10-YEL 202.43g (186.43g base + 16.0g additional)
HW-10-WHI 27.88g (25.88g base + 2.0g additional)
HI-10-ORN 12.93g
ALK-200 FULL GLOSS in the remaining amount to make the quart
This paint is thin and ready to spray. It is also very potent and requires good ventilation and/or respiratory protection. The cost averaged $16.47 per quart (including MS sales tax).
Hope that this summary helps if you wish to proceed in a similar manner.
