Spraying bumpers - water based?

[TROOPER88]

Hi Chaps
Circa 10 years ago I sprayed a couple of restoration projects using 2k paint.
At the time there was a lot of debate as I know the isocyanates contained in the 2k are highly dangerous.

I recall buying the paint, the hardener and the thinners and mixing as per the recommendations on the tin. I was spraying solid colour so no lacquer/clear coat was used.

I produced good results that after colour sanding and polishing gave me an excellent finish.

Now I understand that paints and health and safety have moved on.

So, I want to spray the bumpers of my car. What do I need to buy?

I have the compressor, gun etc.

Is all paint available now water based?

I take it that I need the colour, hardener and thinners and the clear coat?

Is there still the need for the air mask setup or not due to the water based nature

Any advice is much appreciated

Cheers

You can still buy 2k solid topcoat as you did last time
