The shop across the street switched to water-based primers last month and their booth looks cleaner already.

They used to have that constant haze of overspray dust on everything, but now it's just gone. I think it's because the water-based stuff doesn't atomize and drift the same way. Anyone else notice a big change after making that switch?

Wait until you try cleaning your spray gun, you'll want to kick yourself for not switching sooner. I used to spend half my day scrubbing that stuff off with thinners and swearing at the clouds. Now it's just rinse and done, feels almost illegal.

Oh man, that's awesome. We switched a few years back and it's a total game changer for cleanup. The air just feels better in there, you know?

Wish we'd done it sooner. Makes a huge difference.
