Question
Hi Laren,
        Question I have is, I want to add bumper repair to my moblie business and I need to know what kind of paint to go with if I go with waterborne paint? What kind of set up would I need for a quick process? And what type of spray gun,primer,clearcoat and drying process do I need? This would be greatly appricated to find an anwser. Thanks for your time. Chad

Answer
Chad,I would not go with waterborne paint for mobile spot repair. When using waterborne paint air quality is so important, It would be hard to have the proper filtration system and still be mobile. I prefer BASF or Sikkens paint. Check both paint lines they both offer a lower cost product that would work good with mobile repair. My wife ran a mobile business for years and had great results using the SATA 1.3 and 1.4 3000 HVLP spray guns. Check with your local paint store to make sure you get the small cups that would be legal for spot repair outside. Good Luck Laren
