When I compare the Valspar Tractor Enamel chips to my original Sinclair pump signs and globe, the John Deere green is really really close. Am I nuts for using it? I've used Valspar Tractor Enamel on other projects, and for a one shot, it lays down nice and seems durable. Thoughts on using John Deere green?

What is important is that you are using a good quality paint there, and you're right the color is sooooooooooo close.

Close enough for you is all that matters.
Ever notice that a farmer will spend Hours changing a part, but never wash or wax even his new tractor? Let alone painting over the scratches.

You could always put a John Deere globe on it if the Sinclair globe doesn't match shocked

John Deere green is probably pretty close for Dino colors. Not so much for HC.

I think the John Deere Green will be fine. Should look striking when done. At least I'm hoping so.
