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

thinking about agco but have not priced it , i painted my john deere with jd paint, turned out good and not costly, and its been a few years. i believe it was valspar , maybe agco is the same.

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.
