I painted my 320 with water based paint.  It looked god but only held up for about two years.  I repainted with solvent based paint.

I am going to paint my Evolution with solvent base paint. Its also legal because aircraft are under different rules. Maybe that's because water base won't stay on at high speed. I don't want to take a chance.

Anyone here have personal experience with water based paint? Pros, cons, differences? Any feedback would be most helpful.
