The biggest problem with rattle cans and tractor paint is hardener and not being UV stable. This can be slightly overcome with tractor paint because it uses a real hardener but you can cheat and add about 10% clear and it helps but it isn't right.
I'd feel a lot better about painting over tractor paint with hardener than over rustoleum.

UV damage doesn't tend to cause delamination anyways, just fading. That's why tractor paint may be a good option for the fauxtina look.

I did my '74 GMC with come catepillar yellow Majic brand tractor paint (with hardener) when I was 17, and the paint it still adhered to the vehicle.

The body is a hacked together mess unfortunately but it's still a 20 footer.

I I remember taking a lot of this thing down to bear metal using a belt sander.

Man sometimes I wish I could kick my younger self in the balls sometimes. One of these days the body is going to get done right.

I had an old 59 Chevy truck that I painted satin jade, I did a faux patina also. A lot of people thought it was an original paint truck. It was all done with rattle cans
