When you get ready to spray with it you use a red button tool on the bottom of the can to puncture the bladder and mix the hardener with the paint. After you do that the paint is good for 24 hours. After I paint the two repairs I will let it cure up a few days then I will buff the old with new.

Utech paint is a line that Napa sells, it is a step above the Martin Senoir brand. The Utech paint is one of the paints that can use the digital gun to match paint with. Since the truck paint is old and faded a bit this is the only way to get a color match without doing a complete paint job.

Thanks for the detailed answer, I didn't know that existed! Hardener built into an aerosol can... so cool! I can see how that will be very helpful. Truth is, with the way my wife drives and 3 teenage new drivers in the house, I could really use this! I have to look into where a NAPA store with that capability is near me.
