Certainly to use youself, or restoring a tactor to show a bit, paint makes good sense.
If you are a treactor flipper, and just spruce it up with a can of paint & put it on the consignment sale, I am kinda put off buying a machine that is spruced up that way. think it might be hiding some faults, and donno if anything mechanical was done to it. As I use tractors, don't parade them or collect them to sit, I'm much more concerned about their funtion than to see a lot of overspray on the hoses & belts. The overspray makes me skittish to bid on something that needs to be working & useful to me.
But it all depends on the point of it all, doesn't mean painting is wrong.
Best deal is to fix up the tractor, paint it, and use it a year or 2, then sell it. Will look good, and will look like it will work with a little 'use' on the new paint.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
