Yeah, the gal that mixes my DAR says 4-5 years and that's about all we're gonne be able
to get is the waterborne. But for now, she can still get the Delstar. She also has been
pushing Omni but my limited experience with Omni hasn't been the best. I did the
steering wheel and mast jacket with it and it took several coats to get a decent build
thickness vs the DAR or DCC and even then I see signs of it wearing thru the wheel after
only a short time.
Just got a call from my gal and she's got my Blue mixed so I'll ask her about the
"Essentials" when I'm up there this morning. I'm 100% in support of cleaning up the
environment I just hope the paint companies will be able to match the look of the old
enamels with the new systems. The BC/CC paints just don't do it in my book Steve.
While we’re on the subject, maybe someone can explain to me why the water based
paints wouldn’t rust the bare metals when they are applied directly to it? I have this
picture in my mind of the water based house paint cans with the rust around the lids and
inside after sitting for a spell.
