looks like about $180 a gallon for the paint.

Ive seen some done with black paint from the John Deere dealer also.

You can make great things on a budget, but  what you trade in for saving money you put in lots of time, and elbow grease. Like previously mentioned it's all in the prep, and if you do go a panel at a time. I say do plenty of research first. I've heard some good things about single stage fleet paint, good tractors and such, I'm not sure if it comes in flat however. The dollar Wal-Mart stuff is a good deal though, but I've seen good stuff and bad stuff with that.

A low budget work in progress.

I've done it. I painted my '83 with Rustoleum and then clear coated it. It's only been a couple of months but it still looks really good. Take your time. Like everyone else has mentioned, it is all in the prep.
