My friend has already switched to it in his body shop. The change isn't due until July in this county, it happened in Jan in LA and Santa Barbara AFAIK. He switched early just to have time to adapt. He said he likes it just fine, in some ways it's better than the old basecoat. The primers and clears are still solvent based, it's just the basecoat so far. He says that all he's had to buy is a couple of handheld venturis at $60.00 each.
He said that air movement is key. They aren't using heat lamps any more than they did before but air movement us critical. |
