Default PPG questions

California is soon to disallow DCC urethane paint (white single stage). I am going to have to buy the paint now. My question is what is the difference between the DU5 and DU6 products. Would you all suggest a different hardener. The temperature in the summer will be in the high 80s or low 90s. Thank you for your input.

Call PPG at 1-800-647-6050. And get to the tech dept. I saw your other posting where answers were offered. But I am so far out of the "loop" on PPG paint. I honestly can not recommend anything on this issue.
