A "show" tractor or a "working" tractor.

cheaper paints need to have tractor kept in the barn out of the sun... or they fade to pink..

I bought some AGCO rattle can creme paint for wheel centers several years ago and it (at that time anyway) was Valspar brand. I also have used Rust Oleum rattle cans and felt it was pretty good for the price and their "almond" color matched AGCO's creme.

AGCO paint is Valspar and is decent paint. I would say it's comparable with what they were painted with at the factory.
I use Valspar's Renew hardener. I get it at my local JD dealer or online.

With paint, you get what you pay for. With cheap paint, don't expect it to last or hold up too well.
AGCO paint is very good, but not cheap.
