Non clear coated paint

does anyone have any experience with detailing paint w/o a clear coat?
The paint is fading on few of our tractors and was wondering if regular products like 205 and my G110 would work on them?
This is what im working with. Mainly just the hood, fuel tank,a and fenders

M80 isn't a bad call if you are familiar with the product. It's cheap, and good. It has a little bit more of a learning curve than M205, though. Nothing to be afraid of by any means.

You might need to get a little more aggressive, in which case a pass with M105 will probably do the trick. Heck, it's a tractor...I would possibly even 1 step it with M105.

Also, M86 is a great product for single stage paints, and it somewhere inbetween M105 and M205.

sweet, i have 105, 205 etc etc.. I was just wondering if it was ok to use a cutting compound on the pain, because i know it normally takes a bit away from the clear to remove im perfections. Ill have to give the stuff a try when im out there and its warmer
