For the white, I have been using Rustoleum's Appliance Epoxy spray paint, (Almond) from the big orange home store. Unlike the OEM paint, it's got so much pigment, you almost have to try to make it run, so a can of it goes a long way. It leaves a real nice shine, stays soft for a while, but after a couple of weeks it gets real hard and very durable. As per the instructions on the can, don't use primer and don't repaint until after 2 weeks, as it will "lift" the undercoat. At approx 4 bucks a can, it's hard to beat.

Note the color of Rustoleum's Appliance Epoxy that's close to OEM is Almond, not their color designated "Biscuit".

Considering typical fading and that my tractors are workers, I can't tell the difference between it and OEM paint. No doubt not recommended for show tractors though.

The black color of this paint is great too for motors.

As a side note, many boaters (including myself) use Appliance Epoxy on outdrives and it seems to hold up better than any other rattle can paint, but not as good as a urethane.
