Yes I forgot to mention that people should always read and understand
the instructions (PPG calls them P sheets) that go with each paint type.
 Two part (catalyzed paints..I think in England they refer to them as
"two pack") paints have isocynates in the hardeners.  You MUST use
supplied fresh air mask/hood breathing systems if you at all value your
lungs.  Standard respirators will not be good enough!

Enamels are fine paints, its just that the catalyzed paints will last a
lot longer and they dry many times faster.  Even in dry climates enamels
take a long time to dry since they dry by evaporation (the two part
catalyzed paints dry by chemical reaction).  Its not uncommon for it to
take many months for an enamel paint to fully cure.
