That is a good question. i just switched my shop from spies solvent to water. Started with onyx. did not like it. we had a problem sanding the basecoat would gum up real bad. we now have 90 line in our shop. ????? but im still not sure about it. my paint company have been working with us to make this work my basf rep has been alot of help but look this is a business every paint has pro’s and con’s. I had ppg in at least 3 times pushing their product. I am looking at ppg but i have not seen anything different yet but today will be the test. i have my painter painting two hoods side by side one with 90 line one with ppg so do your home work. So we do a lot of dealers work and they want their cars in and out. i think with all this water paint that is not going to happen. i spend 100k on new booth and new shit for all this water and all i can say is wft:cens was i thinking. i’d go back to solvent if i could but i cant. so the only think i can say is chooose wisely. but if you want to push cars threw the shop fast. it will not happen with water even if you have a new booth that is set up for water. :chair
I KNOW THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH BASF. WE HAVE A NEW BOOTH WITH BLOWERS AND HEAT. I KNOW WE WILL BE SLOW IN THE RAIN DAYS BUT WE ARE SLOW ALL THE TIME WITH THIS PAINT. HAVE YOU SPRAY THE PPG ENVIROBASE. MY PAINT JOBBER KINDA JUST THROUGH THIS 90 LINE ON ME.I WANT TO DO WHATS BEST FOR MY SHOP AND PPG HAS BEEN HERE SHOWING THEIR STUFF BUT IT IS FROM ANOTHER JOBBER SO FOR ME TO SWITCH IS A BIG THING. BUT YOU KNOW HOW THESE PAINT REP ARE THEY ARE GOOD SALESMAN. EVERYONE I TALK WITH SAYS THE LIKE THE PPG BUT I HAVE NOT FOUND TOO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE SPRAYED BOTH 90LINE AND PPG. I GUESS MY QUESTION TO YOU IS WHAT DO YOU THING. AND KEEP IN MIND IM A SHOP THAT DOES 75 PERCENT OF WORK FOR CAR DEALERS (USED CARS NEW CARS) SO TIME IS EVERYTHING AND ALL I CAN FIND IS HIGH DOLLAR LIKE THE LAMBORGHINI DEALER IN MY AREA THAT USES 90 LINE OR THE FERRARI DEALER THAT ALSO USES 90 LINE THEY COULD CARE OF LESS HOW MANY CARS THEY DO IN ONE DAY.
YES WE PUT A NEW BOOTH IN AMER-CURE AQUMAX 3 MONTHS AGO JUST FOR WATER. HAS ROOF BLOWER SIDE BLOWERS VERY HAPPY WITH NEW BOOTH.
CHADD THAT IS THE QUESTION WE ALL ASK. I HAVE 90 LINE IN MY SHOP NOW AND HAVING TROUBLE WITH IT. 90 LINE IS NOT FAST SO IF YOUR LOOKING AT FAST NOT 90 LINE. I DONT KNOW WITH PPG BUT THAT IS MY NEXT CHOICE WE ARE THINKING OF CHANGING TO PPG BUT IM STILL UN SURE. I AM TRYING TO WORK OUT THE PROBLEMS WITH 90 LINE BUT ITS NOT LOOKING GOOD ….
