This would be of interest to any painter novice or pro...
IF your a subscriber of sp*t truck then this isn't new but if your not then there is a paint available now that is water based and requires no mixing, shoot right out of the bottle and you only need to apply heat for a short period of time to get it to cure and that is if the outside temp isn't warm and dry. However you do have to shoot a clear so you will have to get possibly an outside source to do that if you do not wish too, but any clear is compatible still good news (ya know duplicolor has clear in a can,hmmm). May wanna check it out, no mixing and it is water based and supposed to be non toxic so good for the home painter I didn't get a price so I cannot say as to how much of a savings money wise there would be. Let me know what you think especially if you have by chance seen its use.

JW, that is some facinating stuff. I'm going to get a little and try it out - if it's half of what it's advertised to be (and those Gallery pic's are REAL), I might have to do the ol' Bronco with it. What the heck - my wife says the ol mule is "HIDIOUS"(sp?) so what have I got to lose? I think I'll try it out on the tailgate & front apron - just to see how it holds up while I'm patching the rear quarters...
By the way - my hidious beast hasn't spent a day in the shop in 12 years (2 days in MY garage for an engine transplant - I don't count that), hers has spent several weeks in the last 4 years...
Mine may be uuuugly, but I'd drive it to the moon... hey, I'd be on my way back according to the odometer...

I sent 'em an email request for color chart & nearest dealer loc. (none in Colo.) Price-wise, all I saw was the web $$$ (around $160/gal) - which didn't seem too prohibitive - except the chameleon - georgeous, but $670/gal. Go to "products", then "click here" for colors & prices...

JW, what's your take on OEM vs CAPA certified replacements - I kinda get a sniff of insurance companies pumpin' the CAPA's...??

The folks at Autoair were quick to respond. Color charts are avalable from them or any dealer for $25. There are dealers in Colo.Springs AND Denver (both Meininger), however the Denver dealer website indicates a rather limited in stock supply...
At least there's a local supplier to visit.

Any paint pro's care to comment? I think I'm going to give it a try on the front apron (?) ( declaration of rookiness) while I'm working the rest of the body. That piece above the bumper & below the grille looks like it's been gravel blasted, so I thought that would be a good place to test durability...
