I've read mixed reviews on VanSickle paints. Hard to tell whether the amateurs are using it properly and it's a paint problem, or an application problem, or some variation in batch formulation. The professionals will tell you it's a long way from an automotive enamel, but it's also a small fraction of the cost of a high quality paint. If all you're looking for is something in the right color and close to the right shade to protect metal from the weather for a few years, paint is paint. If you're looking to restore something to like new and want it to last another 50 years, pay for good paint.
I ordered some IH blue from here a few years ago, and they sent JD yellow (transposed numbers on the item). Wasn't worth sending back. I used some this summer on a mower deck. Seemed to go on fine (standard Binks style paint gun). Time will tell whether it holds up.
I've use a rattle can of Majic JD green for a alternator conversion on a neighbors tractor, and was not impressed in the least. Took a long time to tack, even longer to cure, and lost luster within weeks. When I got to do some more work on the tractor, I hit it with an old gallon of Valspar JD Green I had. That is holding up well, going on 4 years of full time outdoor weathering.
FWIW, it's my understanding that the IronGard paints from CNH, are made by Valspar. I have a gallon of 2150 red (IIRC about $70 at the local dealer) that I've used on a few projects, and am quite pleased with it.
My experience with Rustoleum is that without a hardener, the finish tends to remain soft for months. That could be a plus, or not.
