Body Work and Paint Estimate

Part of the problem with water base is people put excessive film build on. It flashes much quicker when you put thin coats on. Most cars now are so transparent you don't need full coverage and if you are trying to get full coverage with water it won't flash, then after you clear it will pinch. Fear not, water won't be around much longer is my guess... not many painters like it, and almost all companies are coming out with voc compliant base coats. PPG 2001 was great but once 2002 and 2042 came out I learned to like those more. the new 3000-4000 were garbage in my opinion... 2002-2042 were a bit yellow from what I remember. DP was great as well but I learned to work with the DPLF with no real issues other than the white being very transparent. Some of the new water borne base coats sand really neat.. they powder almost like primer. I've sprayed water in PPG, Sikkens, Glasurit, Spies, and Axalta... all a bit different than each other but PPG and Sikkens close to the same and Spies -Axalta(dupont) the same.
