Waterborne is what all auto manufacturers use now. It also drys faster then lacquer, not sure where you heard it takes longer. It has a 15 min flash time, the clear, like all clears is what takes a while to properly harden, even so, when we sprayed the bay, it was 80% hardened in the first 30 minutes. It was a different clear, but that's pretty damn impressive IMO

I'm not worried about it. I've gotten pretty good at installing engines, as long as you know you're inevitibily going to scratch something, you'll be less irritated about it.

I know, it bothers me too, but the compressor pulley will also be black, no way of safely baking the magnet to color it silver. So for now, they'll both be black.

First pic the top one is the one that came off the car originally. The bottom one is a nicer one that I painted. Tomorrow i'll seal them with some clear.
