As a body man and painter, I get sticker shock every time I buy paint anymore. Acrylic enamel I bought for $20 a gallon 15-20 years ago is now well over $100 per gallon.
Even on a tractor, I'd stay away from the old alkyd enamels that most farm stores have. At the minimum, I'd go with acrylic enamel with hardener. Durable finish with a good gloss. It's what everyone used before clear coat became popular. Be aware, though, that once you mix in the hardener you have about three hours to do your painting and get the gun cleaned up, otherwise the paint sets up in the gun. The same goes for after you've added the activator to clear coat.
Any more, though, I clear coat most everything. It just makes a higher gloss with less problem with sun fading. And you can shoot it over acrylic enamel as well as basecoat. I have, a lot of times, anyway.
