I’ve shot both but 100% of my restorations have and continue to be solvent based, at least until they ban it all together for us hobbyists and the small shop guys... Time will tell though, the 2.1 VOC limit on base has been around for a bit now. Matrix released their Coast2Coast solvent based line recently I don’t know if they have any 4+ VOC paints anymore. Seems like solvent still has a market, gotta love that overspray

Where are you at and what do you shoot?

Sure wish I was close. I want the paint on my Salon to lay like it is on that MC

Thanks bro I appreciate you. Find you a cool painter and make sure a good, reputable High Solids clear is used on your job. A good shooter and nice wet clear is worth the money.

Nice finish all around. The reflections are really crisp. How is your paint booth handling the PG&E winds? What do you use for a compressor?
