Now more than ever, eco-friendly auto paints are becoming highly popularized—and for good reason. Most recently, water-based paints have entered the automotive scene, and they offer surprising benefits compared to industry standard ones. The go-to auto experts at Autoworks Collision Center in Rockford, MN, share a list of advantages using water-based auto paint as opposed to the solvent-based industrial alternative.

Below are the four benefits of water-based paint: 

  • Eco-friendly: Industry standard paints contain high levels of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Water-based paints contain no HAPs and considerably fewer VOCs, making them far safer for both customers and auto experts and more eco-friendly than the standard solvent-based options.
  • Quick-drying: The water-based alternatives are becoming more advanced every day. Many auto experts have begun combining them with co-solvents and reducers to achieve a much quicker and safer drying time.
  • Auto expertsBetter Colored: When water-based paint is first applied, it has a skewed coloring that doesn't match the intended shade. However, once it dries, it comes out a cleaner and brighter than any solvent-based product, meaning your repainted car will be equivalent to the original factory finish.
  • Easily Integrated: Water-based paints are compatible with other options, such as urethane primers and clear coats that also contain low VOCs. You can easily integrate water-based products into your auto paint process, from the beginning stages to the complete finish.
