I was wondering if using the enamels that are for painting tractors and implements any good for my work truck. I just want the truck to be one color and the paint to last 2-3 years. I have read in a few areas about adding a hardner to bring out the shine and lay the paint better. Has anyone done this before. juts trying to find a low buck diy type of solution.

I shot my puller with the Tsc valspar restoration series enamel this winter. I used the hardner and it turned out great. I shot it ac Orange. Hope this helps

As long as you use hardner it will look decent and last. Ive painted many vehicals/race cars with it.
