I find that a gallon of ALK-200, the paint cost about $75.
The hardener (which is ALK-201) for that is about $30.
This is not a catalyze (2 part like epoxy) product. So it dries differently not like molecular chain linking like 2 parts do.
It’s true that the paint without the hardener dries fast, to touch in an hour or so, buts that’s here in sunny Florida.
With the hardener it takes longer but usually in both cases, I wait overnight so that it’s good and dry....
Remember, this is enamel not bAse/clear so it’s different.
Also, it takes about 7 days to fully cure although you can color sand it while it’s still soft you just need yo be careful.
