From a website:
The only car paints you can legally get in California are enamels and low-VOC urethanes. You can?t get lacquers - which really screwed up the custom-car industry in LA County, but most people would prefer to breathe clean air than look at some stranger?s sweet candy paint job. If you?ve ever used lacquer thinner, you understand why they aren?t available any more.
Your best bet would be enamel with hardener added. Unless you?re set up to shoot urethane, it is not the system for you - that stuff can kill you if you aren?t equipped.
what are the best paints for an aircraft job? is the above a real limitation for aircraft painting? would it make sense to paint in AZ rather than CA?
