Re: The ULTIMATE budget paint job (pic heavy)
The paint that I used this time is Valspar Tractor & Implement paint. I've used it many times in the past on various horse & cattle trailers and it holds up great. The best part is that it's only $29.99/gallon. Of course there are added expenses such as thinner and hardener. It suggests using naptha as a thinner for spraying, and it works great.
Here is what I used:

I can tell you from personal experience with this paint it will lose its gloss faster than normal. Google “alkyd enamel” and you’ll find info. I would still use it on a work truck or something if I needed a cheap paint job, just be prepared to keep it buffed/waxed.

Thanks for the input. It would also be great to hear from the OP to hear how it's held up for him over the 11 year span.
