Most of the automotive paints are very good quality. Allis Chalmers (and now AGCO) use Valspar paint. I've had pretty good luck using Valspar with hardener.

I used PPG MTX single stage on mine.

How long does the MTX last? If you left the equipment out full time,
when does it show weathering or fading? How many years until
first rust? All this PPG knows but does not disclose.
Also, do they have any problem mixing up the colors you want?

Persian Orange #2 and cream for the grille screen and wheel centers.

any "automotive" paint should work... Local body shop, NAPA, etc, should all be able to supply "quality" paint that wont fade and will last in the sun.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

I'm spelling it wrong but I was told the Ackrilic Urethane is the most fade resistant single stage paint.

I think it all depends. No other good options here in Canada that passes the hazmat certifications. 

From what i have been told, good sun longevity and limited color fade. time will tell since i painted this winter..
