Shoutout to that little body shop outside Tucson for changing my mind on waterborne paint

I stopped by Johnson's Auto Body off I-10 last week, just to grab a quart of clear from their supply guy. Saw them spraying a 2018 Civic with waterborne on a 90-degree day with no flash issues, and the old guy running the booth talked me through it for 20 minutes. Now I'm ditching my solvent setup after 15 years of swearing it was the only way. Any of you guys made the switch and regretted it or found tricks to keep the waterborne from fisheyeing?

Yeah start thinning it a bit more and the fisheyes pretty much disappear in my experience.

Oh man, totally agree! I started watering mine down a bit more too and it made a huge difference with those fisheyes.
