Is there any difference in product quality and appearance when one compares high-solids and low-solids coatings?When you refer to "high-solids" coatings I presume you are referring to coatings that meet EPA limits such as 3.5 lb/gal, 2.8 lb/gal, etc. Similarly, when you speak of "low-solids" coatings, I assume that these are noncompliant coatings with higher VOCs?During the 1980s and 1990s the paint industry made an all-out effort to develop compliant coatings that did not compromise the physical and chemical performance properties that we enjoyed with the existing noncompliant coatings. To a great extent the paint vendors met this challenge, and there are some technologies in which the manufacturers even surpassed the performance properties of the "old" systems.
