yeah the base coat is water borne but the clears are still the same old clears.

There is nothing wrong with waterborne it just has to dry correctly as in evaporate and be dry before the clear coat is applied.

If your trusted painters are using it Id say it is because of state laws.

I have just used waterborne for the first time myself last month and its not bad but if you do not have the little air dryers in the booth it takes forever for it to dry its all about wind and downdraft booths do not cut it for drying. They will have the correct systems if they are using it at the shop.
