Here it is in paint. Behr indoor latex. I have to let it dry for about a month before I can clear coat so it looks a little dull at this point

Thanks Dennis. I applied monocote over the open bays, then covered everything with silkspan. I used minwax to apply the silkspan. Then a couple of coats of nitrate to blend the seams. I didn't use any primer. If I do it again, I will use a coat of white primer. The white latex is a little translucent. The Behr is their sample jars, mixed to color. You can only get the samples in flat, no gloss. They were only $2.85 a jar, mixed. A total of about $12.00 for paint, and I've got enough of the trim colors for a couple more airplanes. I thinned the paint 50/50, then airbrushed it on. I had no problem with lifting with the masking, except on the fiberglass cowl, and that is because I did use primer on that and didn't let it dry good. The neat thing about the latex is you put on a coat, then hit it with a heat gun, then immediately put on another coat. It doesn't matter what the temp. or humidity is either. I called Jerry with Nelson Hobby paint, and he said I need to wait until I can't smell the latex before applying a clear coat. He thinks that will take about 30 days. I plan to clear coat it with the water based Nelson paint, but could use a spray lacquer as well. It is not a heavy finish at all up to this point. We'll see what I have after I clear coat it. Now that I know how easy the latex is to use I might try a gloss next time and avoid having to do a clear coat.

Andrew, the only reason I chose the indoor was the fact it came in the small sample bottles and I could get several colors to experiment with at low cost. Now that I know how it works, I'll probably go to the outdoor high gloss for the next project.
