I have used the AutoAir paints many times. For the most part I use PPG though. Yes, it is very possible to create beautiful paint jobs with AutoAir paints. From what I understand, the main difference between the two types is that when using actual Urathanes they chemically fuse with your clear coats whereas the water based paints don't. I don't even know if that's accurate info., but it does make sense. Of all the paint jobs I have done 2 that have won Best of Show and recieved a ton complements were both done with the Createx paints. Also, depending on where you paint, if you don't have good ventilation the non-toxic AutoAir paints are ideal. I was told by the company that the catalysts and bonding agents weren't necessary unless they were used as the first coat of paint. I always used them for everything anyway to be safe. Make sure you heat set the paints with a blow dryer or heat gun. I hope this helps. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

Be careful. The AutoAir paints are water based but they are still toxic. Probably not as bad as urethanes but you still want to wear a mask and use good ventilation.

Auto air bonds with the primer when you heat it, it also absorbs the dust coat of clear to give a strong bond
