Anyone had experience or advice on using water based paint? I had a go yesterday as the sun was out and I don't have a booth. I was using light silver metallic. I was expecting the paint to run easier than cellulose or twin pack but it didn't. It certainly took a long time to dry though and turned darker in the process. When dry I smeared a little water on to see how much darker the lacquer would make it and the paint turned lighter in colour. To my relief it dried darker again with my infra red lamp.
Am I right in thinking there is less dust from overspray floating around afterwards? The dry paint took my twin pack lacquer OK.
Any thoughts would be appreciated as I might turn over to a water based approach. Any drawbacks ?
