Going to a PPG Envirobase demo at their training center.
Possibly switching from R-M Onyx.
What do I need to know?Go into it with an open mind, Enviro is a great system you will love it, I’ve been using it now for the past 3 years with no complaints.

I have a question about envirobase I hear the only think people have issues with is coverage and just wanted to know if u have a lot of issuse with coverage cause I want to switch to envirbase and trying to talk my boss into it
It’s like any other some colors cover better then others. Learning the proper technique over lapping technique is key. But consider this, enviro base cost 10% more u will use less. But cost more. Not to mention new guns, etc….
Hi! I trained up on this in 2009 and used it at 2 different shops and I can honestly say it was a great system. The lacquers(clears) are really nice too and it polishes really flat if required. It also can reproduce that factory finish slight peel look while keeping a nice shine. The reps also advised me to use Iwata supernovas for application and I found these guns to work exceptionally well while keeping material usage to a minimum.
how much less? say ur used to painting a bumper with 16 oz of paint how much would u use with wb. considering im possibly switching from deltron to enviro
Depending on the size I use 8-12 oz.
The owner and the painter from the other store, hes not too impressed with Galsurit 90 line,went yesterday.
They were very impressed. I am resceduled to go next month. We shall see what happens.most of the colour can finish less than 3 coats, and i use 300 grams to paint a bumper(fully cover including bottom)
PPG trainers focus on this point directly. To get to the point they have shaded sealers and ground colors to remedy this issue.
Use the beloved Toyota 3r3 code. 13 coats of just base to achieve hiding. 4 coats with correct shade of sealer and ground color PPG says to use.
For the majority of paint jobs I average 2 coverage coats and 2 control coats. Most colors.
