    I have worked with both and I would never want to go back to Enamel with no hardener..I have to believe that clear coating over uncatylized enamel would be a disaster..Be fun to see the pro's opinions on all of this...Hard to beat urethane base coats
    I remember when hot rods were all home made.

    you can not top coat enamel with not much of any thing only thing you could spray on it was water with out it lifting and you can not clear coat it with out any hardener but we did do to save money was only shoot the last coat with hardener to save money it was alot of money back then ppg sold 1/2 pintsbut it was cheaper to buy the full pint and use it on two cars
