I don't think hardener will slow fading, it does cure much faster -- a couple of days instead of 3 or 4 months. It will result in a higher gloss, and probably make it more resistant to fuel spills, at least until the unhardened paint cures. I don't think it will make any difference as far as touching up chips and scratches. Where you might have a problem with touch up is if you use base coat-clear coat, which with 2150 is impossible. Modern paints, even the relatively low priced 2150 are immeasurably better than what came on your tractor, and properly applied, meaning over an epoxy primer, which in turn is applied over a properly prepared surface, will last much longer. The appearance of the paint, more than anything else depends on your painting skills. Good unhardened paint applied properly will look better than a lousy job of hardened paint.
