Porsche Paint Part II

From 1993 to 1995 the level of automation was increased further. Robots used for sealing purposes contributed to the increase in efficiency and at the same time humanization of the work place. Environmental issues, in particular, gained in significance. From 1992, Porsche embraced water-based paint technology. Since 1997 water-based filler has been in use. In 1995, continuous solvent emission monitoring was introduced and a contract under public law regarding long-term control of maximum emission and noise levels was concluded with the city of Stuttgart.

It does work a bit different thanthe 996/993 generation. I've also noticed more flaws like dust and fish eyes. A bit more orange peel as well. But overall, Porsche paint is one of the best paints to work with.
