fumblin46 painted his '46 half ton using the tractor/industrial paint made by these folks:

he went with the JD green and black on the fenders, the last I heard he was pretty happy with it.
Yea, I painted it in the fall with a brush, didn't use anywhere near a gallon of paint to do the whole thing.. the truck has been out in the -50 wind chill weather, blowing snow, blowing sand in 50mph winds and been totally covered in snow more than once.
The results? Just as glossy and shiny as it was before the paint dried. My 'prep' work involved running over most of the truck to knock any loose surface rust/dirt/mud off the truck, then I painted it.. from 30 feet away it looks like a 100 point show truck.
That paint 'leveled' itself quite well.. you really have to get up real close to see any brush marks, and there aren't alot of them.. biggest flaws in the paintjob are the occasional brush brisle that got left behind, or the occasional bug that got painted over.
With a proper prep job, and spraying it on instead of using a brush, I have no doubt you'd get a real nice driver paintjob with that paint.. but you're limited to their color selections, which since the paint is targeted twards painting farm machinery, is limited to traditional 'farm implement' colors.
This is a link to the specific type paint I used I'm highly tempted to paint my ''63 Galaxie with that stuff (with a sprayer, not a brush).. next time i'm in that store i'll have to see if there is a color that I like, and do the trunk lid or something and see how it comes out.
