I believe Chrysler, as with the rest of the Big Three, are using water-
based finishes now. Don't know when they switched - or if they switched -
for truck production.
I don't think the paints are actually water-based, as much as water-borne.
They may be more subject to temperature variations etc.
Even with the best of paints, the vehicles that get painted first thing
in the morning after a cold night aren't likely to get as nice a finish
as the middle of the line. Ditto the last vehicle of the day!
