Car paint prices WTF!

Over twice the cost! The reducer is just demineralized water.The Dealer I worked for just switched and my buddy hates the stuff. He had to buy new guns which gets costly as well. Takes forever to flash even in a heated booth and very hard to see coverage with just the base on. Totally different color after the clear is applied too. I hated it when we were schooled on it at PPG classes! I have no desire to use the stuff myself! I will stick with the Solvent based products.

Why did he need new guns? I use my same gun for both without issue (Sata 3000).

The flash time is very fast if you use a hand held air blower. I shoot both solvent and water all the time.

The only real difference I see is that your first coat with water needs to be very, very light.

If you do a wet first coat with water your paint will end up on the floor.
