It was me.  I'm in New Jersey, and the shop that painted my car earlier 
this year is in Connecticut.  The new materials are part of an ongoing 
regulatory process to reduce airborne volatile organic compounds 
(VOC's).  My '66 Corvair received the new solvent-free water-based primer. 
The entire prep and primer process takes place without the car getting in 
the spray booth -- only the final color coats and clearcoat are sprayed.

You can see a photo essay on the entire process at
