END OF CELULOSE & 2 PACK PAINT APRIL 1st 2007
the tree huggers and yougert platters have there way
is this right gents ?

as i have heard so bit and peices

its going to be Water born paints which you need fans, diffrent paint gun etc........ and its a dog to paint etc.....

this makes it a severe pain for us hobbyists so to speak
anyone know any more info on the subject gents

I was chatting to the guy in the paint shop the other week and he was saying it would be 31st dec 2007

He also said that most products would still be available in a slightly modified state, that could still be used at home

how much truth there is in this though, we will see

There are ways around this .... I'll tell you when I get back from hell (London) tonight. Not the end of the world by any means!!!!!!

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

the stupid thing is that there is no water based laqueres so the 2 pack will stil need to be used insteard of this

"Can I legally marry people now that I am ordained in the Church of the SubGenius?" aka i know jack sh"t

i also make things

i love coming home to chrome

I'd better make sure I get my spray job done Asap then!

Apart from applying the paint, is it a better coating in general e.g. hardness, rust protection?

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

Originally the cut off date was going to be September 2006, then they moved it to December 2006. They might make up their minds one day, I wouldnt worry about it though lads.

I seriously doubt it!

Anything decided by idiots in power, should be cause for concern....

Look what that Numpty Bliar has done to the UK lol
Anything from Brussels is usually even worse !

202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

your right Ben, but most places aren't ready for it yet, so there is one more year to go.

Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph

My friend works as a painter for a v dub, audi dealer, he is at the moment trying to get the paint for my build, and the rep he deals with is giving him the run around because of this. We was desperatly trying to get the paint before it happens tho, which reminds me, I should ring him and see where hes at with it.
Shane.

get your mate to go and get the paint straight from the paint shop then, reps are a nightmare, sorry if i have offended any reps

"Can I legally marry people now that I am ordained in the Church of the SubGenius?" aka i know jack sh"t

LOL, the local one shut mid lsat year, he was giving the rep a chance, The other option I have is, I got to know a local bodyshop manager really well when I reshelled my mini, then a few months later done a dukes of hazzard style road to field manover in my BM, put a lot of work his way an he said if he could ever help me out he woul;d, could get him to supply it at trade price?
Shane.

we have these cellulose and 2-pack banned for a few years already, there are several good alternatives that can be used at home with std spraypaint guns and equipment.
Not to worry, in the beginning the water based paint had the orangeskin effect. That is all behind us now. you can get used to it very quickly8-)

It's only being banned for use in professional auto finishing.

practical classics have an article in the march issue on painting with water based paints, and loop holes! il scan it when i get home!

martin

superb martin

arno, what about drying water borne paint etc .......

I am led to believe that the States have been using water based stuff for years.
So it must work.

The only down side my local bodyshop said was that costs would go up.

As with most green / organic stuff.

I drill holes in everything..!

place that is doing my car is in the process of going to water based colours, he is having to change his whole setup at massive expence........

a bit of useless info for you, but ferrari have been using water based paints for many years now :) then again their main engine plant has a forrest in the middle of it to control humidity levels for perfect engine building enviroment !! (i watched a programe about this last night !!) and we can all agree that the finish on a ferrari is second to non but like you say twatfull for the TMist who wants to paint his/her own car :(

sorry!
I didnt realise until id put them on this post!

As I understand it from my Mate who has his own bodyshop - there is very little difference and the waterbased paint is still solvent based and still really 2 pack. As per the upside down article!

I stand corrected. You should know

i read that article in tescos last night at 1.45am

by the seems of it there isnt that much harder to do, infact there is less chance of runs by the sound of it

im sure after a bit of practice we will never look back

Des anyone know if..... you can apply water born paint over synthetic paint for example say .... dulux tecaloid etc ??
