here is my $.02 take it for what it is worth. first off when considering what paint system does the person have/willing to buy a fresh air supply/self contained breathing aparatus, i.e. full presurized mask? New cartages in a filter mask don't cut it with out the full blown spray booth.
If so, I like single stage urethans such as Duponts Imron + Nason lines, ppg's concept + omni. Napa/sherman williams are great to I just don't know them.
If they don't have the fresh air, then it's nothings that uses a harder with isocynates. Products in the Arcylic enamels like duponts centrai line, ppg's omni line can be had in AE's. I know some people like to add a synthetic hardner to John Deere paint, by doing that they need the fresh air supply. I have standardized on PPG's DPLF epoxy primer, 250 surfacer (on tin) and concept for the color coat. On the tin's I color sand and buff to take out any little pieces of junk that got in the paint. I don't have a booth. I use surplus firefighter SCBA tanks, I hook four of them together. My local dive shop fills them for me. Next time I would just by the hobbie air system. I have found in the PAST that the cheap paints are the wrong shade of color, ruined by gasoline, fade really fast. I DON'T LIKE TO PAINT. To me the paint is the cheap part of a paint job, its the time in prepwork that costs. My guess in paint costs (I'll be posting the real numbers in a few weeks when the job is done) for painting my Allis G is about $400. I had to spend $125/side for brake shoes, that was a LOT in my mind.
