I haven't seen a paint container yet that claimed to make a tractor run or perform better. I'd also say those originals in their "work clothes" that still exist today usually were very well-maintained.
It's a wonder to me that any of the "original" tractors that exist have any paint left on them at all. If the tractor was never meant to last this long, the protective coating placed on the sheet metal by the manufacturer surely wasn't meant to. Even if kept inside every minute it wasn't in use, paint fades and wears away. Many climates speed up the process.
I saw most of what was a nice looking Farmall H that I worked on more than once sitting on a trailer going into a scrapyard last month. Owner was always worried about not scratching the paint and not at all worried about the lack of oil pressure. The tractor's new owners (presumably China) will not be "blessed" with the condition of the paint. If the owner would have concentrated on the condition of the engine and not the shine of the sheet metal, the tractor might still be in service instead of being able to see through the engine block.
There are some great tractors pictured. Paint them if you want, but they look just fine to me.
