I have not used IH 2150. My understanding it is a "acrylic modified" enamel. I have heard that it is much better than the usual tractor store synthetic enamel, but not as good as PPG or DuPont. Acrylic urethane is better than acrylic enamel, both are available in all of PPG's and Dupont's lines as well as Sherwin Williams and Martin Senour. Imron is fine, also more expensive. If you use hardened paint, a supplied air system is essential, even for a one-shot deal, as you have no way of knowing how the isocyanates in the hardener will affect you. Slappy, I should have responded to the original post -- type too slow to want to redo this. PPG Omni Acrylic enamel ratio is 4:1, 4 parts paint to one part reducer, the hardened version is 8:1:1, 8 parts paint 1 part reducer, 1 part hardener, overall dilution is still 4:1 though. Varies from brand to brand. I use PPG Omni, considering switching to DuPont Nason, as my PPG dealer seems to get it too orange (PPG 71310, 2150 equivalent). A DuPont rep tells me that DuPont 96766 (same code as Imron for the 2150 equivalent) does not have an orange tint
