What kind of hardener, if any, works in John Deere paint from the dealer? My dealer didn't know.I didn't know if some works better than others.

Thanks

Kevin, you can use most any hardener as long as it is for [synthetic] enamel. Do NOT use hardener that is for [acrylic] enamel, it won't hurt but won't chemically bind with the paint to properly harden it.
~If you are going to use hardener in your paint you should be aware of the dangers involved if the proper protection isn't used while painting. Paint hardener contains isocyanates & breathing anything containing isocyanates can be extremely bad for your health.
~A dust or paint mask won't help at all & even a canister equipped respirator doesn't do the best job of removing isocyanates from the air you breathe. A canister equipped respirator is a big step in the proper protection direction & painting outside is also a big help. If a canister equipped respirator is used, the filter cans should be replaced each day & not reused. The best protection is a fresh air supplied breathing system that supplies fresh air from a remote location to either a full hood or a mask. I use hardener in most of the paint I apply & use a fresh air system for all the painting I do. You really shouldn't get isocyanates on you skin either but that is hard to do while painting or gun cleaning. Paint resistant thin rubber gloves that are available from most paint supply stores help somewhat. I usually end up with holes in them before done with a paint job but they do help. The use of long sleeve shirts & head covering is also helpful.
~This isn't meant to scare you away from the use of hardener but the effects of isocyanates should be seriously considered so proper protection can be used.

The last two I painted, I used a Dupont hardener. I forget the number, but it was called Du-Lux. I was very happy with the results. Great shine, it seemed to flow on much better, and has not faded any that I can tell. Use the John Deere thinner. I have not had any luck with substitutes for that. I think the John Deere paint is about the best synthetic enamel paint that you can buy for the money.

Napa has a hardner that I use. It is (MS 8010). I have included a link to a page that has a spec sheet for synthetic enamel. It has been my understanding that is what JD brand paint is. Take a look at the spec sheet and at the end you will find the hardner numbers and the mixing ratio's
