Water-based primers and paints are not a new technology for automotive coatings. They've been around for over a decade. Their increased exposure and hastened development have been due to efforts to comply with increasingly demanding environmental standards. Water-based topcoat clear technology has not developed to the point where it is a suitable replacement for urethane clears. Fortunately, the two are compatible and, when used properly, a beautiful finish can be achieved while reducing VOC exposure without compromising the quality or integrity of the finish.
Doesn't water based paint allow for less coating due to curing time or runoff? The water based paint would be a thinner coat based on it's property or attribute. I noticed the older model have thicker paint.

Maybe you don't understand paint all that well, but water-based covers faster so less coats of base are needed. This is just the basecoat. Basecoat is just the color, it doesn't protect anything.

I grabbed the chipped flake...it was thin and broke apart easily. My 2gs didn't want to split when I pulled it off. The 2gs seems plastic like... like those birthday helium balloon. What matters most is it's not durable.
And again, I don't know about paint but it also look thinner. The 4gs paint is like those gold flakes.
