I just bought a gallon of paint for my truck from Jim Carter. I had purchased a quart to try it out on the cab, and it looked really nice but took forever to dry (like a week). I was told that it would dry faster if I added the hardener. It is PPG ALK-200 paint, and the hardener for it is ALK-201. Problem is I can't seem to find that anywhere.
This is an acrylic modified alkyd enamel, supposedly used for fleets.

Does it have to be PPG hardener? Is there another type that I might be able to find and use?

If anyone has dealt with this please give me advice.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur ( https://timwhiteblues.imgur.com/ ). I live way back in the woods in the Ozarks on 40 acres at the end of a 2 1/2 mile private road.
