I want to paint my tractor but I am not a serious collect per say. I want it to look nice but I will be using it around the farm we have so it will be hard to keep it in show quality.

I am thinking about using a rattle can so that I can do touchups easy.

What is everyones opinion?

It will probably be cheapest and provide better quality if you buy a gallon of paint and use an inexpensive sprayer to apply it. You can still use a spray can or a small brush for touch-up. Rattle cans are very expensive on an ounce per ounce basis compared to buying it by the quart or gallon. Sometimes two quarts cost as much as a gallon or close to it. I guess the bottom line is BUY IN BULK.. (laugh) Seriously though, you could easily apply more than two quarts of paint to your tractor. That's a lot of rattle cans!

Good luck with your paint job.

Here's a link to show you how I do it. Probably more involved than what you're going for, but you might find something interesting.
