Wow, what a bummer! I have never had a problem not using the hardener with either Delstar Acrylic Enamel by PPG or with Centari Acrylic Enamel by Dupont. These were, however, older formulations and the mix directions specifically permitted it. The automotive paint industry has undergone rapid changes in the last decade, many of which were forced by air emissions rules�particularly to lower volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is my understanding that PPG no longer produces the Delstar line but has an acrylic enamel in their �second tier� lineup called �Omni� and is referred to as �MAE�. The cut sheets that I have for this product indicate use both with and without the associated hardener but I have no personal experience with it one way or the other. On the other hand, Dupont also has a �second tier� lineup called �Nason�. The acrylic enamel available here is referred to as �Ful-Cryl II�. I have cut sheets for that product that indicate the associated hardener (catalyst) IS REQUIRED for proper use. Go figure! In any event, thanks for bringing that matter up. Excellent point to consider with the newer products available. It is extremely important to follow the label directions very carefully now-a-days and to read the fine print when it comes to safety instructions. If you don�t have the equipment to safely spray materials containing isocyanates, find another product...or use the much cheaper �old fashioned� tractor enamels available outside the modern automotive re-finish suppliers.

He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
