Those are pretty ideal spray conditions as the 20-40% humidity. During the summer months at the shop I did this demo at. Humidity was in the 85% range and it took 47 minutes between coats on an allover using Envirobase. Like i said not ideal conditions for anyones paint brand but the nice thing with this is humidity does not affect this product. So for those of us who suffer during the SWAMP ASS months this could change the game.
I feel that humidity will still have some effect on dry times even if it it is solvent based, No!
what are you using as a wet bed ??are you also adding it to your base as a blending additive!! sb01-vro -dh100, 2-1-10%.I JUST DID WA636R ON A 2012 IMPALA,AND THE EDGEs of the blend are a little dark side tone . used mpv 1 lighter bluer
lets see if this works
The shop I work at had this system installed last week and Im having VERY slow dry time, The sealer is drying ok, but the base is about 30-45 min to flash off, even with the VR0 reducer(Rep told me that’s the faster they have) I did a bumper yesterday and it took over 3 hours, and a hood and fender today 3 hours.
I want my DuPont back.
Im not sure how those cycle times are possible unless youre spraying in a freezer…… I shot a video today in a former envirobase shop that we just landed and painted a white Avalon code 070 tri coat. New hood, bumper, rt fender, blended rt door blend lt fender and blend rt a pillar. From sealer to ready for clear was 31 minutes. Using ds40 white tinted sealer.I’ll edit the video and upload asap

Looking forward to that video.
Got a chance to test it out using RMR09 reducer.
PS2 Chrysler- covered good, layed flat ,good color match, blend was better than Onyx.
PRH Chrysler-covered good over a rose colored sealer, dried quick,good color match.
Wa379E-GM 3stage- six coats to cover recommended ground coat, dried quick, good blend, good color match,DC5335 with DH47-UR60, died back quite a bit.
Kia dark gray metallic. Forgot the code. Not even close to the color chip.
Sprayed a couple other older colors. Blendable, but the colors seem to run lighter than the Colormax chips.
Definitely has a strong odor to iteven with 55 line I found some of the older car colors to be off
I finally got a chance to spray it! Video is uploading now.
It`s too early for me to establish an opinion but it sprayed pretty well, covered well & dried quick. Seemed to work as advertised, I hear the RMR reducer is supposed to be better than the VR0 I had. Anyone else been spraying much with it?
I haven’t tried it yet. They kept pushing back the date for our demo…
jimmo, so is your shop completely back to BASF now? What happened to DuPont/Axalta?
The shop still has their Axalta line, I’ve recently started working with a BASF supplier (co-auto) doing tech support in the field. I want to stay on top of the BASF products so I’ll spray Onyx when I drop in on the weekends. My old mans shop is a Fix Auto so they’re under contract to Axalta.
Congrats on the new job. Going to have some good stories to tell I bet.
