Rob, I have a 2N out on the driveway that is my project/charity case tractor. As I was working on it last spring (when I still had a spare minute here and there) I would take certain parts like the air cleaner and other small parts and strip them and practice painting on them with TSC rattle cans. Primed them real well, put three coats of color on them and then hit them with a couple of coats of clear. They shine real nice and have endured four months of direct sun and other weather. Only problem was that the paint scratches right off if you hit against anything on reinstall. Don't know if it has gotten any harder over the summer but there is no rust anymore (yet). If I scratch it I just hit it again with one of the cans in the garage. I might splurge for better paint done professionally on the sheet metal but not on the engine and frame unless I decide it will be a parade tractor. Since that is NOT going to happen I guess a working tractor should have paint that can be touched up without a lot of headaches. IMHO
