Water-based auto paint is not glossy in itself. recently purchased entire automotive paint system and love the way urethane lays down and holds up. I painted my old truck with straight spray paint (primer/base/clear) and it looked terrible within a year. To repair the ding, you have to open the paint, fill the ding, and repaint! At this point it does not matter what type of paint was used! Bottom line: Lacquers are just getting hard to purchase. It is, in fact, a softer paint, but not by much.įactor this in: How can the other (harder paints) withstand stone chips, bird droppings that will eat at any type of paint, door dings and etc? The only thing I can think of here is that I have repaired a lot of door dings because body metal is thinner, to the point of very lightly scuffing the newer urethanes. And to retain much of its gloss for years, you simply apply a clear coat of lacquer. With the onset of water-based auto paint how does one care for it? Can you use conventional petroleum-based cleaners, wax, bug and tar remover, or does one have to go to some other type of car care materials, like synthetic waxes and cleaners?
Just another government ploy to shaft the little guy.
I know several friends who have tried Dupont Cromax water and hated it. Remember the General Motors nightmare from using water based paints, with paint peeling off in sheets at a time? Well, it is water colors! The whole point of solvent based paints is so you don't need sterile laboratory conditions and a gazilion dollar downdraft setup like water based requires. Not much point in forcing everyone into going water based, like they did in the US in January 2013, if it still requires deadly urethane anyway, is there?
