to be honest i dont think there is anything on the market that makes it harder... only thing that really helps paint life is the preparation under it, if it can grip onto the primer well it wont chip as easy.

If it's very new it should harden as it ages

I know a couple car show type guys. They always use acrylic on their black cars. They dont touch them for 6 months after they top coat them because they say thats how long it takes for it to harden proper. 2k paint is harder but more brittle when its chipped etc. Just touch it up and let it dry for a while it should harden up a bit
