I know acrylic drys quicker. But last time I spoke to the automative painters near me they use a water based paint. They claim it's better than enamel or 2 pac. Just curious if you tried these? And if so what the results were

No I haven't tried any of the waterbased paints. After just speaking with a mate of mine who has worked in the auto paint trade he told me its like four times the price of acrylic so its unlikely I'll be trying it anytime soon
