    What low VOC bases are available for you?

    I’ve used Limco Supreme low VOC stuff. It’s extremely cheap ($15/pt.) and not very good.
    BUT, I’ve gotten away with it for many jobs.

    There’s plenty available now, all waterborne basecoats. Many low voc urethane primers and clears are out, i’ve tried pretty well all of em from BASF (not the limco stuff) and so far so good. There’s the low voc basecoat from transtar and Sherwin Williams but don’t know what it’s like.

    The Transtar Nomix seems pretty good. Good coverage. But they should come out
    with a color chip book with all the variants. That would help tremendously but probably
    too big of an investment for them. Also, by trying to guess at the best variant, more
    product is used; more profit…

    Shelf life for the toners are about a year. But they’re fairly cheap. A standard setup
    runs about 4g’s (with software). Not sure on the number of toners (80?).

    It’s still fairly new to the market. About 3 years now. I’ll try to get more inside info…
