Topic: Who knows water-based paints (Read 194 times)

I've been thinking about a back yard paint job, haven't been able to do it in 20 years. These new water based paints sound like the way to go, with no toxic fumes etc. Only draw back I've read online is it takes a long time to dry, not a problem here, think it was 110 out today and some problems with small water bubbles (kind of) popping up. Anyone try the stuff? Any tricks? Special gun? Thanks for any input.

I don't know anything about them firsthand, but that jerk Barry White painted a Chevelle with it on last night's show. Car came out real nice.

I've not used any, but being a good friend of a very good custom painter, he said it's tricky. The candies are the hardest, as they are with conventional paints with reducers. He told me that practicing with it first it well worth it. If you have painted with regular paints, its not hard to pick up with the water based .

I have used Autoair Colors last summer. I had to do it 2 times and I got it right the second time. You need to 2 or 3 lite coats to start and then 2 heaver cotes but not wet. It has no re-coat time so if you need more coats. Always let dry or force dry with heat gun between coats. Go to Auto Air colors web iste and look for more tech info. The stuff works good and after you put on some urthan clear it looks really good. www.autoaircolors.com |
