I recommend that you use a good acrylic enamel. The synthetic enamels are OK if your tractor will not be in the sun (they fade), but acrylics will give you longer lasting shine. I don't know anything about IH paint, but at $38 per gallon it sound like it may be a synthetic. Acrylic enamel is expensive, probably $60 to $100 per gallon, but because you will cut it 2 or 3 to 1 with reducer (most synthetics contain less pigment are cut less), it goes further than you think. Depending on the gun you use, and how far you intend to disassemble your tractor to paint, I would guess that you will need 1 to 3 gallons. I don't recommend shooting a clear coat unless you are pretty good. Clear coats are thin and run easily. Hardener is a good idea - but be careful of the fumes especially if you paint indoors. Good luck, let us know how it turns out.
