Ok we could argue this till the cows come home. yes your right on a true base clear you do not put hardener in the base. however there are some paint systems used by the cheap auto paint shops that are a synthetic enamel. it is a single stage paint that has an optional clear coat that can be sprayed over it if the customer pays extra. In that case the single stage color dose get hardener as well as the clear. I have used that paint before and I am pretty sure that is what happened. In any case it really dosent matter much since I am taking it down to bare metal dosent it make sense to do it the fastest way possible...
