As my local paint supplier started carrying Envirolak products, I want to start a thread on this line as there is a bit of a learning curve. First off, who here is using any of these products and which ones are you using? 1k, 2k, crosslinker? I've experimented a bit with some of it and it is next level, but as a finisher, changing between products is sometimes a gamble with cross contamination etc. What are you spraying the products with? How are you cleaning your machine between primers, different products etc..? My biggest concern right now, is that I'm trying to keep my system 1k, but if going to a deep base colour , you have to use 2 different primers. First is a White bonding primer(t9000) 2nd is a tintable(deep base) primer, so the top coat will stick. Has anyone found a way around this scenario.?(besides adding hardener) Having to prime twice is a pain and I just don't want to be spraying with isocyanates.

I just switched from Renner to Envirolak and I I'm glad I did. I had 4 kitchen cabinet jobs and every one picked SW Pure White after showing them a sample door. The funny thing is they were also all changing their dark granite counter tops to white quartz. I used the T9000 primer and the 800 topcoat. I have a Fuji 4 stage turbine and use a 1.4mm tip. I added about 5% water to the 9000 and the finish was perfect with no orange peel. For the 800, I added 3% crosslinker and 1.5% reducer. I used the 30 sheen and the finish is amazing. The crosslinker is also aziridine free.
I also painted an island in red using the 100 1K with the crosslinker. Having to use 2 primers is a bit of a pain but the finish was beautiful. They had a wet bar which I also painted red but they decided they wanted it in Pure White. I called Envirolak and was told not to use the 9000 primer over the 100 so I asked if Stix would work and was told it would. So I would think that if the Stix worked over the 100 it should work under it. You can call them to make sure.
