If you have used base-clear, it will work on a tractor, but is probably overkill. The most economical way to go if you are looking at PPG is to use their Omni system. MP 170 epoxy primer on everything. MP 181 or MP 182 surfacer over the MP 170 on the sheet metal. For topcoat use MTK acrylic urethane with hardener, or MAE acrylic enamel with or without hardener. MP 181 is a one part primer/surfacer, MP 182 is a two part urethane surfacer that must have hardener. Anything containing hardener REQUIRES a supplied air system, a cartridge mask is not enough, and will NOT protect you from isocyanates. People have died from using that stuff without the proper protection. You become sensitized to it until only a sniff will make you sick. Don't use acrylic lacquer, it has been replace by acrylic enamel and acrylic urethane paints, and is not durable or fade resistant. IH 2150 for post 1949 tractors crosses to PPG 71310. IH 50 for pre-1949 tractors (I do not know when in 1949 the change took place) crosses to PPG 70019.
