TSC is "okay" paint, but I'd save my money and buy from here:

I have been using their Case orange paint and it's dead on correct and should be better paint.

Far as I know it is the same alkyd enamel that was developed in the 30's. It will fade if left outside. It does not endure the elements very well. There are better paints, but a lot of people still paint with alkyd (synthetic) enamel. Only advantage is it's cheap. If outside you can wax it every couple of months, much like I did the alkyd enamel/acrylic lacquer cars of the 50's, 60's and 70's. Modern paints are immeasurably better and also more expensive. I have never looked at a can of the paint you mention. There is a version of alkyd enamel called acrylic modified alkyd enamel, don't really know if the so-called "restoration series" is that or not. The acrylic modified version contains UV inhibitors to retard fading. Since you use the handle MTA, you are apparantly IH. Case-IH 2150 is (or is supposed to be) acrylic modified alkyd enamel. If you don't want to spend a lot of money use that $40/gallon??. Better paints go up in price from there.
