I attended the estate auction a couple years ago of a guy in his early forties who was spraying out in his shop with that stuff. He made it to his living room from the shop before he died. Apparently used a mask but it was a hot and humid day and he took it off when he finished spraying. It works about like ammonia and chlorine, just eats up your lungs and you suffocate.
The damage is irreversible. Living with carrying an oxygen bottle with me for the rest of my life doesn't sound like fun either if just a little whiff gets by the mask.
The use of a hardener just to make the paint a little tougher for a tractor isn't worth the risk to me. They have been using clear coat on cars for years. That's good enough for me. I prefer the less risky things in life like skydiving and fixing air compressor tanks with JB weld. Then again I wouldn't use a torch to cut the top off of an oil drum but apparently there are those that do. To each his own.
Check the archives and particularly on the paint forum. There are plenty of nice paint jobs without the stuff. IH didn't use it when the tractor was built.
