Default Awlcraft 2000, what else do I need?

I'm going to be ordering a gallon of Awlcraft 2000 for my project boat and I'm a bit confused as to what else I need. Converters, reducers, activators? Also, what is the shelf life, it will probably be 6 months before I spray but I'm in buying mode now.

Thanks

I used 545 primer with the D9001 converter and T0006 spray reducer. used awlcraft 2000 with T0003 medium reducer and G3010 awlcat #2 converter. Call/Email awlgrip they are awesome to deal with and will answer any questions you may have.

Thanks, looks like I'll be giving them a call. I've sprayed several single stage paints before but I'm a bit clueless with this one. I haven't found a decent guide for what I need.

no I didn't fabricate extensions for my trim tabs. as far as I know they are factory. I didn't all the hard work. sanding and prepping. I paid a guy who sprays million dollar yachts for a living to spray my boat. it is flawless and perfect. he recommended awlcraft 2000 on the fact its waxable buffable and easily repairable unlike everything else. I couldn't be happier.
