I'm touching up a medium size area of Light Green paint. I had planned on using SprayMax custom per order spray cans; however, the light green paint did not match. Close but not dark enough. My plan was to use the same SprayMax paint cans through the entire process: Prime, Base Coat, followed by 2K Clear Coat to get a more professional DYI paint job. I know the paint is nasty and that a higher end masking is required. I know etching primer is used on raw aluminum.
I found some older Lazy Daze supplied light green with activator. So now I go back to my original plan to use this older bottle of Lazy Daze Factory supplied Light Green Paint. I'd build up the base coat with a few coats of green. And still use the SprayMax Primer and 2K Clear coats.
QUESTION: The green touch-up paint although several years old looks good. The supplied activator is hard as a rock. What is a proper activator to use that I could purchase locally. It's my understanding LD Paint is aircraft type two-part polyurethane enamel. I'm hoping I could use Eastwood Medium Speed Activator for Single Stage Paints 32 oz 70 to 80 Degrees F? But not sure this would work?. Any advise would be appreciated!

The main supplier can help find a local store, which was my experience.
