Is there anybody out there that has ever used non-isocycante 2K paint on a car?

Even better if you've used it on a GRP body.

Even better still if you've done it at home rather than in a proper booth.

Any experiences you have would be welcome......I'm told that the finish isn't as good or as hard as normal 2K, but it'd be good to hear of any real life experiences.

Thanks.

I could I suppose.......in the past I've only ever used cellulose (4 times), I'd be happy to hear anyone's recommendation for an alternative.

I've heard stories about non-iso being soft, poor finish, etc so I'm up for any sensible suggestion.

Thanks.........I'm looking for a system to use at home to do a whole GRP body - I'm in the early stages of a Chesil Speedster build. The last kit I built and painted was a Marcos which I did in cellulose in a lockup. It looked great for about a year until a couple of blemishes appeared under the paint.

Everything I've heard says that 2K iso is the best in these circumstances, but because of the safety concerns I want as little exposure to it as possible - hence the question about non-iso.

Water base and just 2 or 3 coats of iso clear could be a solution though.

And thanks 7even....I wasn't ignoring you........is it really as bad as everyone says?

Thanks for the replies........especially from those that have actually used the stuff.

Maybe I should have named the thread "Is there anyone with a good word to say about non-iso paint?"
