If you are painting it to sell, don't. Unless you want to do at least a semi-professional paint job. I have bought painted and unpainted tractors. If there were two side by side I would take the unpainted one. Paint hides a lot of defects, and the ones painting to sell don't have the incentive to do a half decent job. However, if you insist on painting it, for your purposes buy IH 2150 from your Case-IH dealer. Do not use hardener unless you want to spend $4-$500 for a supplied air system to protect you from the isocyanates in the hardener. I think the cost is about $40-$45 a gallon, add some for primer. I use 2-part "economy" acrylic urethane for about $135/gallon, or close to $250-$300 for the tractor if you add the cost of the primers and surfacers. Prices go up from there. Your tractor will take between 4 and 6 quarts, depending on how much disassembly you do.
