Re: base clear paint
current thoughts in another thread
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=489629 waterborne is apparently used more in automotive applications that I thought. I've had no trouble getting the "regular" stuff.

I went out bought a gun strickly for waterbourne base, and have sprayed 4 vehicles so far with no issues and with just basic tech info. I have been using Sikkens Autowave WB, they have been using this system in Europe for over 15 years now. |

Re: base clear paint
it only lasts about 8 to 10years in the sun though it would likely last longer on a vehicle that is covered

Re: base clear paint
It's been around for years. My 93 Corvette is water based. But, from what I have read, only the base coat is water based, clear coat is still oil based.

Re: base clear paint
Yes clear coat is water based as well but here in Canada they have only stopped the use of solvent base paint.
I still use regular solvent clear coat after my waterbourne base. I think they have just lowered the VOC in the clear coat. Will ask my paint rep next time i see him. |
