I bought Finish 1 FC720 Clearcoat and Fast Hardener as part of my camper van equipment.

Comparing Separate Clearcoat Components with a Two-Part Aerosol
I spent around eight hours masking the van and covering the unpainted areas.
I sanded, blew away dust and cleaned the exposed bodywork before spraying white-tinted bedliner.
I removed the masking after drying and inspected the uneven areas and edges for touch-up.

My Takeaway from This Job
The exterior diary records the preparation and sprayed finish, while this is a separate clearcoat purchase. Finish 1 and Speedokote supply separate activators; SprayMax places the two-component system inside an aerosol, changing the application equipment format.

Mixing ratio
4 parts clearcoat to 1 part hardener
Finish 1 FC720 is an automotive overall clearcoat paired here with FH611 fast hardener. The manufacturer’s product data sheet gives a four-to-one mixing ratio and distinguishes fast, medium and slow hardener choices. That makes batch planning part of this spray-coating process: prepare the surface and equipment before mixing. Clearcoat follows an appropriate basecoat or cured single-stage enamel in the published system. It is a transparent finish stage, separate from applying textured bedliner or selecting a body-color aerosol.
The product data sheet specifies four parts FC720 clearcoat to one part the selected hardener. FH611 is the fast hardener in the Finish 1 range.

Two Alternatives to Compare
Speedokote provides another clearcoat-and-activator kit, while SprayMax puts a two-component clearcoat in an aerosol format for a different application setup.
This kit supplies automotive clearcoat with a separate activator. The mixed coating is applied through spray equipment to produce a gloss clear finish.
This aerosol packages a two-component automotive clearcoat in one can. Activating the internal hardener prepares the coating for spraying through the can's nozzle.
