Does one just go to any auto part store that mixes paint?

Thanks for your patience
My local auto paint store is very helpful. They answer all my questions as best as they can. Just tell them that you want a semi gloss clear and a hardener.

Make sure that you wear a proper mask when spraying.

In the pics below, the blue Ryan is covered in Natural Solartex, and painted with auto paint, using a hardener. The red Luscombe's wings are Natural Solartex, painted with Rustoleum aerosol can, and Minwax Polyurethane clear coat.
