John Deere Blitz Black is a good option. I've used it with an HF HVLP sprayer and got very good results.

In reply to BobOfTheFuture: It was bright (not burnt looking)

Tractor enamel is tough paint. It does require an old school rub out (NuFinish works good on it) a couple times a year. It holds up really well to salt, off roading, etc

I'd just paint the front bumper gloss black, then run a white pinstripe where the black meets the red. Two-tone is good.

I can probably mock up that paint job in Forza tonight.

I can try to zap one out with GIMP as well.

This thread is making me seriously consider painting my MX6 satin white. I have access to the military base paint booth, maybe I can purchase a HF or Eastwood gun, some protective gear and spray some thinned down satin rustoleoum...

I the end, I didn't end up painting it at all; I got really lucky and sold it as-is. For anybody still interested in this topic, I found this good article:
