Eric, I plan on trying to make it to all the carrier events this year including the NW Regionals providing life doesn't get in the way.
Doug, I stirred the paint, but you got me to thinking about it though.
Bill & Bill, I have a new Thunder tiger 36 Pro with an OS 4D carb, we'll see how that works out. I think it will be good combo.
Wayne, KlassKote is an epoxy finish. A little expensive (what finish isn't these days), but has tremendous color coverage, so it really goes a long way. They make a epoxy primer surfacer, but I haven't tried it yet. I have just been using clear dope and sanding between coats for my base and then spraying on the Klasskote color. For durability, spray on a coat of clear after you have your colors on. You can recoat it or spray on another color without scuffing up the surface if you recoat with in 8 hours. Depending on how you mix it and the temperature, KlassKote is suppose to be print free in 4 hours. Mix equal parts paint and hardener and let it set for 45 minutes before use or adding reducer. After 45 minutes, you can reduce it up to an equal part of KlassKote reducer. In the end, 1/3 paint, 1/3 hardener and not more than 1/3 reducer. Great stuff, but take your time. Ask me how I know.
