PPG 60080 is what I used on my CA last week. In my opinion, a spray gun is necessary if you want to do a quality job. We used a Craftsman mainly and it did a great job. We got a "touch up gun" at Harbor Freight for about $12.It is great for what its name says-touch ups, but could probably do a whole tractor for a man on a budget!

Jarrod  -PPG60080 is correct. BTW nice job on the CA.  It is a great match to persian orange #1  Im glad to see you did painted your CA a correct orange. So many folks use the wrong paint shade, nothing wrong with that, but I think you will find as you get further along in collecting that you will appreciate what you used. Did you use the JAU acrylic urethane, or what if not?

That is one thing that kind of annoys me, having the wrong color paint on a tractor. I used Omni Acrylic Enamel. I got it at Carquest here in Muncie. I think it was around $25 per quart and I used just over 3 quarts.
