I didn't use "tractor" paint but I think it was acrylic enamel and all I can recall is that it was "Nasson" brand or something similar. I used the frost white color and it was approx $40 a gallon. It has held up well so far with some minor yellowing on the belly from oil stains. Not bad considering I never did rub out or buff the paint nor did I ever apply a coat of wax. I simply had the paint shot, let it dry, and started flying. I'm quite happy with the results of the cheaper paint and would go that route again if I have to. Larry Flesner
