I have been painting my tractors with the paints that we buy for tractors from AGCo, IH and John Deere also Tractor Supply but are they Acrylic Enamels? I ask because I want to paint my Model A Ford with Acrylic Enamel and I wonder what is the difference between equiptment enamel and auto paints. I have already painted the firewall with sandable primer and sure hope it doesn't have to be removed.

As far as I know they are not acrylic enamels, but are alkyd enamels, which are high maintenance paints in that they require frequent waxing to restore the original gloss. The Case-IH paint (don't know about the others) is an "acrylic modified" alkyd enamel, meaning it has UV inhibitors added to it, thus should last longer than the standard alkyd enamel. Use either acrylic enamel or acrylic or poly urethane. Modern automotive paints are light years better than alkyd enamel.
