So what is a good brand of paint to use that is easily obtainable? I like the Majic brand from tractor supply when I was painting my tractors (orange for Allis and red for Farmal). They had all the stuff. Paint, reducer, hardener. I am very happy with the results. It was nice getting it local so I could get more when needed without waiting.
Not sure what NAPA sells or if they even sell the meadow green.
Have an advanced auto nearby too.

You have a 53. The Grille is Sunset Ivory, although no one here at FTE can find evidence of Sungate Ivory listed in any Ford literature for 1953. We have found it in literature for 1954 however and the 53 and 54 grilles are the same color. Here is the old paint can from 1998/99 used for my grille:
