The best and also the most expensive way is to remove all the old paint and use epoxy primer, then acrylic enamel or urethane on the cast, along with epoxy primer on the sheet metal, followed by a sanded surfacer until smooth, then topcoat. If the paint on your tractor is in relatively good shape, you can sand it, but you still need the epoxy primer. If you want a good job stay away from tractor store paints, they will fade, particularly if the tractor is outdoors. The absolute minimum quality is Case/IH 2150, but it is not as good as PPG, DuPont, or Martin Senour (NAPA). If you want to save your lungs (possibly your life) along with some money, use acrylic enamel without hardener (or Case-IH 2150 without hardener). A good supplied air system, which is mandatory for hardeners will cost about twice what the paint does. Hardened paint, either acrylic enamel or acrylic urethane will give a more durable, glossier finish.
