I have not used 2150, I imagine it is about as good as the economy acrylic enamels. You have not noticed fade as yet because although it is the old alkyd enamel, it has acrylic enhancements such as UV inhibitors. As to the 2K, the hardener does not prevent fading, it just gives a higher intial gloss so that it is not noticeable as soon. I'm also not familiar with the Case-IH primer, but I imagine it is low quality compared to the ones by the major manufacturers. Epoxy primers such as PPG Omni MP 170 are immeasurably better, both in corrosion protection and durabilty. However it is non-sanding, meaning that if you want a smooth finish you need to be able to lay it on smooth, or put a sandable surfacer over it. Since you don't have supplied air, the "economy" PPG product to use over it is Omni MP 181 primer surfacer, easily sanded. You can skip the 170 and put 181 over sanded bare metal if you wish, but it will not give the adhesion or corrosion protection that 170 will. 170 has to be topcoated or 181 put over it within 3 days (at 70 degrees) or it has to be scuffed and reapplied. Both 170 and 181 are about $60+/gallon, so you may not like that price. 170 is a 2K product, but the catalyst does not contain iso's. You've posted before, so you probably already know all this.
