Apologies for resurrecting an old thread and this unfortunately has nothing to do with GA but as luck would have it a bit of Googling brought me here...

I'm looking at spraying up my kitchen cabinets (Good, nearly new hard wood that were unfortunately defaced by a terrible toddler living in my house before I bought it, it would be a shame to get rid of it when I may be able to extend its life by a couple of years)

I have honed my spraying skills to an acceptable standard using a cheap HVLP electric sprayer and some Valspar UD429 2-pack to 1-pack converter (safe alternative to isocyanate!). I've gotten good results but now I'm looking to buy my paint from elsewhere. The place I got the paint from describe the 2-pack to be paired with the hardener as acrylic, the shop I'm now looking at just says '2k'.

Is more or less all 2-pack paint acrylic now? Is it the industry lingo standard to get acrylic when you ask for 2-pack, or will some places give urethane?

Thanks!
