I just got the Montana paint the other day and grabbed a can of their Varnish which has a UV protection but I doubt it has a hardener. Going to visit a body shop to see if I can get some mixed up. For the bike I'm building, its running a front derailleur, so last thing I want is for installation of that to ruin my paint job.

SprayMax 2K has a hardener with the money saved you can buy a good mask . Highly recommended .

Yep. A bit of searching in the google machine and I found that same one. Saw a 2 pack for $40. Figure two cans will give me 3 coats and I can return the Montana Varnish. Def buying a good spray mask. No messing around with fumes for this dude.

While on the topic of paint, I was Googling some information about clear coating over water slide decals and I found this gem. You cant make this stuff up. "I had the bike painted real nice. I decided to try and bake the paint in my car to dry. I thought it had dried enough already, but wanted to make sure I got it hard. Well, that did not work out so good as the frame stuck to the car interior ruining the paint"
