Not as a rule, but indeed there were hardener activated paints. There is a brand name by
"Hoechst" dated from 1928 called
"Desmophen".
Later (in the 80s) there still was a type of paint called "DD-Lack" (Desmodur-Desmophen) used to for an undisclosed hardener activated paint.
BTW, there is a BIOS report #365, German Aircraft Paints. It deals with the types and technology of german aircraft paints. As i have understood it no epoxy was mentioned. Instead, Nitro-cellulose, phenolic resin, modified oils etc were used.
