RzeroB,
A lot of what we have today "evolved" around the EPA, doesn't really have squat to do with durability or quality.
No offense, but the "evolution" of finishes didn't have **** to do with quality or durability, it had to do with emissions.

Absolutely.

Do you think todays single stage is even as good as the original paint of 40 years ago?
