The IH 2150 paint you already have is probably the best that money can buy. I have used it very succesfully in both the bulk and aerosol cans. It is definately the correct color and will hold up very well.
Now, as to applying it with a spray gun, you don't need an expensive one, I use a campbells brand, purchased at Wal-mart. Practice on something that doesn't matter, even if it's a piece of cardboard.
Another hint, haven't tried this myself, but at a show one time, I was admiring a Farmall M with mounted 2M-H corn picker, the entire unit had a flawless paint job. The owner of this good looking outfit stated that he had painted it using absolutely NO THINNER, just turned up the air pressure until the paint would spray and had at it. The first coat looked pretty bad but eventually all those little drops of paint flowed together and resulted in one of the best paint jobs I have ever seen. Just a suggestion.
Good luck, we all had a first time.
