Interesting observations, Dave (here and your posts below).
My BN (I won't belabor what you've already heard about what drove me on that project) was done with an acrylic urethane that would be tough and shiny anyway. I went slow and heavy on the iron for the wear factor. A friend following the paint phase of the project, came in toward the end when I was shooting the tin and offered a tip. Said if you want it to look sharp, put one final coat of extra-thin paint on it without waiting for the whole normal time between coats. It was just the trick.
In the interest of full disclosure, painting that tractor was the first time I'd ever shot color onto anything. Everything prior to that had been a sandable primer. So, yeah, there are a few runs, but nothing more severe than the runs that came out of the factory. They probably show up a bit more with the fancy paint.
That fancy stuff probably won't dull down/ chalk up as quickly, if at all, as the other paint formulations -- all that remains to be seen.
But the color is the old, darker, bloodier if you will, red, with none of the orangish cast of the 2150.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
