Potential ominous sign of the future for the DIY who uses automotive paint products. Enforcement of the "...professional use only..." labeling? Here's an excerpt from the link:

"Another component of the developing rule is a restriction on the “sale and use” of automotive paint products. Shops will have to meet certain certification criteria giving them the green light to spray paint. The rule will attempt to restrict sales of paint to people who are not certified users. “These are the types of things that I need your feedback on,” said Teal.

During her staff’s data gathering, Teal said shop owners have urged the EPA to tighten the language to include “use” restrictions as well as “sales” restrictions. The intent is to limit the sale of products to certified users, who then turn those products over to uncertified people.

The Automotive Service Association (ASA) and National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) recently wrote Teal supporting regulations that would control the sale and use of automotive refinishing products."

A couple of threads and several posts on this subject are in the forum at autobody store.com.

I wonder what it takes to become a certified user -- probably a painting course by one of the major paint companies? The certified user thing probably refers to safety. Many of us amatures are already safer than some people in the body shops. The pollution is insignificant. I live in a rural area, I can see the point of neighbors complaining in the typical crowded city/residential areas. I'm afraid that with the support of the big shots that it will pass. Wonder what a lifetime supply of acrylic urethane will cost?

the certification might be as simple as the certification to buy refigerants ,or the spray applicators lisc. required here in texas . ill bet ppg and dupondt wont support it ,they want to sell paint ,most of the auto paint supplies can be had in an industrial version anyway ,wonder if they will try to contain that too?.

Local paint dealer says most of his business is people like us not body shop people -- but it's hard telling what the EPA will do. I don't know how many paint dealers, etc know about this, or whether the EPA has to notify everyone before they approve it. I imagine there will be some backlash. Automotive paint, industrial paint, tractor store paint, tractor dealer paint all cause the same "problems". If it goes through, the certification process doesn't particularly bother me as long as I can still buy the paint, unless the cost of certification is high enough to scare me off.
