Jerry sez:
:: The modern alternative to hard-to-fix enamel is "Catalyzed Acrylic
:: Enamel". This is regular acrylic enamel with a "gloss catalyst" added.
:: The gloss catalyst has the following effects:
::
:: * It makes the paint glossier.
:: * It makes it cure in one or two days instead of a month
:: * It makes the paint highly chemical resistant
And I add:
* The catalyst contains toxic isocyanates.
The more common paints, like PPG's Deltron and DuPont's Centari should not
be sprayed without some decent breathing protection. Not a wimpy little
dust mask, but something better. Read the labels and warnings on the boxes.
Personally, I wish I had a forced air breathing system, a new HVLP paint
sprayer, ....
