Hardener question
With acrylic enamel, does adding a hardener do anything other than reduce the time to fully harden? It seems that the hardener cuts the time-to-harden from 30+ days to less than a day, but does it do anything more than that? Is the final product harder with a hardener or do both reach the same hardness, just faster with the hardener than without?
I've also read that a hardener makes the final product higher gloss. Is this just marketing or is it really so?

Um..... er..... it says "Distributed by New Holland" on the can(s).
I've got primer, paint, and various rattle cans from the tractor dealer down the street.
They've got a restored tractor in their showroom painted in Ford Gray and Blue enamel. I've drooled over that paint for years. I have no clue who makes it. I can't use the Blue as I'm an Alabama guy (vs. an auburn guy). If you're not from Bama, you wouldn't understand.

Unless, perhaps, you're from Ohio and find the Yellow and Blue of Michigan ("maize"? I think NOT) very annoying. Then perhaps you might have the beginnings of an understanding of the Alabama/Auburn thing.
