Rustoluem

I'm finishing up a new bird and I used Rustoleum.  How long do I need to wait before it's safe to tape off trim areas?

I would give it at least 24 hours.  I can't remember on mine whether I gave it one day or two (it's been a LONG time!).

If you give it more than a few days then scuff the paint that's to get the trim -- Rustoleum that's just a day or two old makes a great surface to stick Rustoleum to, but if you give it the two weeks it needs to be fuel proof, then it turns out to be Rustoleum proof, too.  I don't know when it changes from Rustoleum Ready to Rustoleum Proof, but it does.  I have an otherwise nice Twister whose fuselage trim is chipping off over time because of this.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.
