Yes there is a law coming banning solvent borne paints. As with any change there will be resistance, rumors, fear, and winners and losers. We switched over 18 months ago, and would not switch back. Color matches are easier, no special breathing apparatus needed, great hiding, easy to correct should you OOPS, easy gun cleaning(water) no solvent disposal issues, paint does not need a mixing stand (nice energy savings) , no need to bake the paint, hides much better, and is less expensive.

Down sides, need a special booth to properly work the paint(dries with air flow not heat), has a learning curve, and can't be wet sanded.

Some local shops had switched , and wanted to go back, this is usually caused by poor support form the paint rep, doing as they think as opposed to how they were taught, not having the right equipment(guns, booth, air delivery system), and plain old resistance to change.
