"Best" can be expensive. TISCO by Van Sickle uses an alkyd enamel and advises to use a hardener. Other have said an alkyd is not the best. I concur with Ultradog below. I have used several brands with OK results. It all depends on what you want to accomplish - a show queen or just a workhorse and always how much you want to spend.
Yes, if you have the paint code they can look it up and see what exactly the ingredients are and mix it up. I went my local mom & pop auto parts store that does paint. I had the GM Red paint that John Smith said he found years ago for his 8N that was a close match to the GM Cenatri Red from like 1984. They were able to pull up the exact code, mix me up a batch, and was not expensive at all. They made me a quart, a pint, and two spray cans.If you want the best, PPG. Take a sample to the dealer and they will mix it. You won’t like the price though. A long time ago it was $110 / gallon
No, you do not need the paint code . Each color chip has its own code (well, here in the US anyway) and is matched to whatever specimen you bring in.Yes, if you have the paint code they can look it up and see what exactly the ingredients are and mix it up.

Eman you really should do yourself a favor and price acrylic enamel.If you really want the best paint find an auto body supply store that mixes and ask them about their best paint. Then ask the price for it and the correct primer, hardener and clear coat. The you'll see why most use single stage enamel with the hardener additive on tractors.
That depends on how much money you want to spend. Custom mixed automotive acrylic enamel or basecoat colors are now $300.00 a gal and up. plus the thinners, hardeners and if you want to clearcoat, the sky is the limit. Very easy to spend $1000.00 on paint alone. Epoxy primers are $250.00 per gallon. Let your wallet be your guide. I had well over $1000.00 in paint on this one.whats the best paint you can get for a ford tractor blue of course thanks
