If you are trying to save a few dollars I would forget the hardner, that stuff is the most expensive part, and it can make the paint chip easier. I don't know of any implement paints, there are cheaper bases, usually acrlic, and urethane are the cheaper, but your paint shop can tell you that. All impement manufacturer colors are usually available in a multitude of bases.There is a large selection of color options.
I think you will be satisfied with the adhesion of any of them a long as you do a good job of cleaning all the loose dust off before spraying.The lower grade bases just fade faster and are not as rich in color.

I used van sickle paint for my jeep! It is oil based. I sprayed it about a year ago. Did not use hardner in the paint just reduced it with mineral spirits thinner. I wet sanded it then put an automotive clear coat on it and it shines like a beauty! looks the same today as it did right after i painted it. I would do it again with no questions. I've repainted 3 of our john deere tractors with van sickle too
