Except there is no cheap automotive paint in ca any longer. It's all water based, takes special guns etc..etc.., So to roll on the thinned solvent based derusto or whatever looks more cost effective for a cheap paint job.

Except there is no cheap automotive paint in ca any longer. It's all water based, takes special guns etc..etc.., So to roll on the thinned solvent based derusto or whatever looks more cost effective for a cheap paint job. the smog wackos have just this year banned regular laquer thinner in california, we not get some toned down crappola, hell maybe have to use twice as much so screw them. the new stuff has less tolulene in it, and straight tolulene is no longer found at eh hardware store. the paint thinner is now a speacil california mix also, plus the price has skyrocketed. the paints are manly waterborne now,a dn a pain to color match as they change color as they dry. forget about the good old PPG epoxy primers too (DP primer) they first took all the lead out and last year banned it completely it was great stuff. remeber teh air resource board (CARB) is appoined by our elected numbskulls, so get on teh horn, or write to your state officals and let them know how mad you all are at these rules. Let tehm know you will vote them out if they keep supporting CARB. guess it is time to go to Arizona to buy the good stuff. CARB is doing everything to kill off the car hobby, their stated goal is to get you out of your car. there are some industrial coatings and marine coatings that contain the good stuff that can be found still, they granted an exemption for marine and industrial for some chemicals cuase none of the pansy greenie stuff was suitable for these uses, so you may have some luck at a marine supply store for good (well at least decent) paint. it is so bad i have to order a marine 3M product for vinyl protection from out of state it is basically a suoped up armor all (it works great) but is not sold in california. beware of the new thinners, the bottles are not labled that they are different, so run a test before commiting to diluting with the new stuff besure to let your elected leaders know you do not approve of this. |
