    gday fellas....
    whilst my dad was spraying up the bonnet...he had mistaken the flexiprime for the hardener......
    the paint seems to have dried...

    what happens now?
    what will happen if i spray color over it?
    do we have to sand it right back and start again??

    try scratching off a corner but i would guess that yes you need to strip it.
    a 2pak would not have chemically cured like they are designed to.

    The hardner is needed and the flexi is not. - I would strip it back if you want the paint to look good in a few years time.

    The Flexi is just that - a product to keep the paint softer.
