Chipmunk gets some trim *updated new pics 2/28*
« on: February 27, 2008, 01:57:42 AM »
The blue checks went ok. I think there needs to be a stripe or something on the side because the fuse looks a little boring to me. I still have to paint the flaps and elevators too.
Also, I dont have any numbers on it. Any suggestions on where to get some in a hurry?

You've got a nice paint job going there Clint. I think I'd probably shoot clear and see how it looks. If you need to sand the clear will also help keep you from sanding through your color.
  Maybe you could have thinned the red a little more before you shot it on the plane. The thinner paint would probably have spread on smoother.
I love that checkerboard. y1

Hey Clint,

A little orange peel will be OK---it's the potato peel you have to be worried about!! LL~ S?P

Cheers,
Jim

PS: You wanna do some checkerboard for me??? Yours looks great.  I did black/white on part of my Legacy wing--not fun.........

Checkerboard masks were provided by Jim Snelson at Controlline Central. Makes things go a little easier.

I'd sand the red a little bit first, then the clear.

For my part, I'd scrap off any flash on the edges of the red (gently), then shoot the blue. Do the same then shoot on a coat or two of thinned clear, then lightly sand.

I agree with Randy on this one.  Anytime I have wet (or dry!) sanded RED, I get pink where it's supposed to be white, and can never get rid of it.  RED is horrible for dying white into a lovely shade of pink, in my experiences!

Well I do agree with 1 or 2 coats of clear before sanding the color trim.  I thought he was referring to shooting all of the clear coats, then sanding.

Crist, your assumption was correct. But I have been set straight and will sand after a couple of clear coats.

I'd shoot all the trim edgeswith clear and my air brush to get them to feather. This will save weight in the long run because you don't need as much clear to raise a finish.

 I think I remember you recommending this in your "A few thoughts on finishing" post a while back. I'd like to try it. My airbrush is the cheapest of the cheapies though.

I use a Binks Wren for that, actually for most of my air brush work. I have a couple Pasche brushes, but I'm not skilled enough to do any fancy stuff so I don't use them much.

Man, that's a lot of checkerboard. Can't wait to see it in person.

Clint....
Beautiful job.. looks great... maybe a blue stripe above and matching the red on the fuse and the vert stab.. should liven up the fuse a little...  again... looks really good

The JVL Chip. is one of the best flying Stunt models ever. There's one here in the Cleveland Club by Dave Heinzeman that absolutely kills.  You'll have fun with yours.  H^^

I hope so Gary! Building it sure was fun untill I got to the paint. It sure was a lesson in finishing.

Sure looks pretty from here.  y1  ;D If you're bored with the Fuse, do the fore most inch and a half of the nose and cowel in small black checkerboard leading to a tapered speed line down the thrust line to the Stab.   H^^

If you mix dish soap with the water you're sanding with the red won't contaminate the white.

I'll have to try that, Frank.  Thanks!
