Dean,

I am surprised that no one answered your question. I don't know about the 820, but Mac colors are listed on this site under the Engine section:

Suggestions for readily available spray can high temp yellow paint, that are close to McCulloch yellow:

- AutoZone DE1642 yellow high temp engine enamel
- Engine yellow: Krylon DE1642 Daytona Yellow, 500 F
- Dupli-Color Engine Enamel in Daytona Yellow (#DE1642)
- Rust-Oleum Sunburst Yellow (7747)

I have also had good luck with Rustoleum Engine paint - Daytona Yellow. Hard to find, but it goes on nicely and does not chip as easily as the Duplicolor Engine paint.

For the WB 820s I use RUST-OLEUM No.7270 GOLD RUSH METALLIC that I get
from my local HOME DEPOT. It seems to match fairly well.
