ALL AUTO PAINTS now a day is water based because of the EPA Since 1992 they all had to be. The auto companies started in 1984 and had 7 years to get it right. Look at a lot of 84 to 87 Ford products and you can see the paint peeling off because of start up problems. THe Japanese's did all of their testing on preimports in Japan, so unless you buy a car directly from Japan it will not peel. American made vehicles had no such luxury of haveing the American public buy their testing vehicles like the brain washed Japanese's public did.
When you pay in the USA 20K for a 20K Japanese vehicle when a Japanese has to pay 42K for a 20K American built vehicle something wrong with the tariff system.
OK I'm down off of my soap box for now. Carry on.

Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Refinishing Help
Are you sure they use urethane for that clear coat? I would have thought
lacquer on a metal surface like that. How about finding an auto parts
store that sells automotive paint and use what they use to clear coat
cars? Just a thought.
