The old water born paints SUCKED, had an 85 Mustang that was silver and the paint all flaked off in the first 5 years.It wasn't the paint that was the real problem but the water born primer they used at the time.

The current water born paints and primer's are great, been using them for the last year or so and they lay down great,are easy to work with and clean up is a snap. Repainting over old paint works great too, the high solid water born paints cover fantastic as long as you sand out the old paint for the new paint to adhere. Since 2005-2006 all new cars/truck have been using water born primers and paint. in Europe its the only thing they use.

The 2 main company's to use are BASF and PPG for the water born. not sure about some of the other company's
