I'm just starting to read about it. I'm thinking the hobbiest will need to invest in heat lamps. I'm not sure the actual application is anymore fussy than spraying the current solvent based, base/clear, base coat. It's getting the water based solvent to evaporate. That will take heat lamps. So, the production shops doing partial paints for collision repair will be doing very little more than they do now. Booth times may so a little but my guys used heat lamps to speed cure clear coat years ago.
I still have one of my old Sunkist heat lamps in the garage. It's a large thermoreactor. It opporates on propane. I'm going to have to see if this will work on water borne.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
