  If you want a factory type paint job use IH paint from a dealer.
Powder Coating your sheetmetal would be a waste of time and effort and
money.
I have seen very few tractors with perfect sheetmetal.
Powder coat does not work over body putty.
Even the top notch car guys paint their sheetmetal. The only thing that get
powder coated is the frame and rims.
Rustoleum paint is not the right color and fades very badly.
