I would strongly urge you to not put clear over John Deere paint. Double or triple the hardener and you will have almost the same results.

Nobody understands that a base/clear paint job is a "system"..........Ie. all products have to come from the same manufacture because they are meant to "play" together and they must be put on in a very specific matter. Generally if you clear something then you do not use hardener since there is no need for it. Also, putting clear on dry, hard paint is just asking for trouble. Most manufactures recommend applying clear within 24 hours of applying the paint. It's not that the paint needs to be wet but it needs to be "open" to accept anything you spray on top of it. Fully cured paint with hardener dries to a hard a durable finish (as it's supposed to) and putting clear on top is just asking for trouble. It will last for a while but it will peel eventually.
