I have a Farmall 350 I painted in 1998 that looked real good up about a 3 years ago and still looks pretty good today but fade is starting to show. It has been kept under a roof since I painted it but its has definitely seen its share of use - especially in the last 10 years.
When I painted it I wet sanded the sheetmetal - I only took it down to a 600 grit. The castings were power washed then wire brushed. Everything was painted with Rustoleum - the sheetmeal was sprayed and the castings were brush painted using some quality brushes. I did not use hardner and the paint was soft for over a year afterwards - but it didn't get used much in that timeframe either.
Two things made my life a lot easier on that project - the paint that was on the tractor was heavily oxidized - making wet sanding a lot easier. The other was the sheetmetal was in good shape everything was straight and no rust pits.
