Re: [Chrysler300] paint

I first used waterborne paint in NY back in '96. I've been using it at my shop in Arizona for over 4 years. My guess I'd that the delamination is between the clear and the color. The clear is still urethane, only the base is latex. If the base isn't allowed to completely flash off you'll have a clear coat failure. Waterborne paint has been used in Europe for decades and if I'm not mistaken its the oem finish on domestics as well and has been for some time. Plenty ways the leftist enviro wackos are ruining lives but paint ain't one of them. Less solvents to attack the body fillers and create shrink back is a good thing.

A friend of mine had his 1965 "A990" Plymouth restored in California 2 years ago. This last year he had to have all the paint stripped off and the car repainted. The car had been painted with the California "eco-paint"/water-paint. My friend did not store his car the first winter in a "temperature controlled environment" as he did not know he was supposed to. The California paint lifted off in chunks over the whole car. He was told that the freezing and thawing temperatures during the winter here in Pennsylvania caused condensation under the paint. The car had to be stripped to bare metal. To add insult to injury, Pennsylvania has adopted this same California enviro-nonsense. My friend had to ship his car to North Carolina to have it re-done with real paint.

I'm no expert - just relaying an incidence. Two different body shops concurred that this problem was "possible". I see you are in New York which has the same weather conditions.
