when you say the correct paint, do you mean the same shade?

If you aren't going to try to sell them to a collector,i'd say to use a spray can yellow paint.I did some a few years ago, and just used bright yellow for the color. I also had two crane trucks to redo, and used the same yellow color. They look nice, and the kids liked them.

Valspar makes a Tractor and Implement paint color called "Transport Yellow" that is pretty darn close to that Tonka yellow. You can buy it at Tractor Supply stores.
