So, one of the reasons I like to frequent this site is the wealth of knowledge by so many intelligent members. You got me thinking and second guessing my choice about the paint I plan to use. I really couldn’t find any definitive information which confirms the rustoleum tractor paint would fade and be inefffective. Most of the reviews are actually 5 stars. Any of you have any real live experience with time pics? I m guessing the paint on my truck now is rustoleum and it looks exactly the same as when I purchased it 10 years ago with the exception of the hack body work I completed. I’m now considering not stripping it, and maybe just a little more effort fixing a dent or two, da it lightly with some 320 and shooting it. Advertised as heavy duty and weather resistant. If it’s good enough for the tractor it should be good enough for the square, right?

The tractor and construction machine paint does not fade and is really tough. It's not that glossy as normal car paint but I think it fits our trucks.
I don't think that's different in the US. The paint in the States could be even better as all ingredients except water are now dangerous and no longer available in Europe.

I’m really not going for shiny. Here is an interesting read, at least in my opinion. https://benklesc.medium.com/when-paint-jobs-lasted-forever-the-lost-art-of-single-stage-9f99973befaf.
A nice square pic when you get to the end.
