Howdy!
I have been gifted a plane that is almost ready for paint. It’s electric! (Boogie, woogie 🎵- now that song is stuck in your head- your welcome)
I’m looking for a light weight recipe for laying on a non-dope finish. It will never get judged for appearance points but I would like a nice looking plane. I have been searching for a spray on paint that will lay down and flow out nice with a coat of clear on top. I do plan on putting some ink lines on it so maybe two coats of some type of clear.
Does anyone have a process that works?
I found a thread on the Cretex Auto Air paints but no details on how to apply it.
Thanks
I don't think water based anything will totally edge out 2k auto clears, KlassKote and dope finishes, but this new generation of water based and water borne paints sure merit some consideration. For my home situation, paint odor is very problematic with my wife's allergies, so options such as these are intriguing.
Here's a few videos on the application of Createx UVLS 4053 Gloss Clear.
