Any paint job looks good the first several months. How it performs after that depends on the prep work, and the quality of paint you used.
Rattle cans are not a great choice. Paint often is pretty thin (tough coverage) and often doesn't hold any kind of a shine in in the weather.
My experience, Magic paint is pretty crappy long term. So is Rustoleum. The color (red) and shine disappears quickly. Ya get what you pay for. Not willing or interested to spend hundreds of dollars on automotive quality paint, I've had very good luck with the Iron Guard brand of paint sold at IHC/Case dealerships. It goes on well and holds it's color. A gallon will set ya back about $70 and should be adequate for your tractor. It needs to be thinned with their special thinner, or acetone. It sprays well (if you don't want to learn, convince a friend to teach ya). It can also be brushed, but don't to it in the sun on a hot day. It dries pretty quick and won't flow out.
A lot of folks paint the rims silver. They were originally galvanized. Using Rustoleum Hammered silver paint, brushed on, creates the galvanizing flakes. Again, paint in the shade and a cooler day. It needs time to flow and the crystals form.
Get thru the sucky prep work, then enjoy the finished product !

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
