[AT] Acrylic enamel paint hardner????

[charlie hill]

Hi John,

I'm glad you asked that question.  I sure hope we get an answer.

As for the quality of your finish.  Paint quality and application technique 
are important but the really really nice paint jobs have a lot of wet 
sanding and buffing involved.
