I have re coated after a year and the paint wrinkled. Spray cans of any brand are a pain. I have found that all the coats have to be applied within an hour at most. The clear can't be appplied unless it's a one color scheme. And it only wrinkles on the plane not the test panel. Also the heaviest areas wrinkle. I've had good luck with Dupli-Color engine colors.
Perry,
I can't understand your comments? None of which I've experienced? As I've been saying for almost 10 years, I achieve great success with Krylon "satin only" aerosol cans. Not only do I explain in detail with Builds, but I post photos of the results all the time just to prove how well Krylon aerosol cans work. There's a Build and painting Build on all these models. Is this called "proof of the pudding?"
I'm not in this forum to Post false information or to degrade someone's finishing methods.
EVERY ONE OF THESE MODELS WAS PAINTED WITH AEROSOL CANS!! If I can design, build and finish a model to these standards, so can anyone else. Well almost.
Thank you for giving me to opportunity to show what can be accomplished with Krylon aerosol cans. And remember what Willie Moore said about my finishing to reply to pointless "trolling."

I was at the flying field yesterday, and guess what, Charles showed up with his ARGO 2. His graphics were flawless ( because he is an expert master graphic artist), and the airplane was incredibly beautifully finished.
Local BOM contests would judge it near perfect. NATS maybe 2nd or 3rd row. I’m not kidding. When Charles told me it was a quick job, I wondered what perfection would be like. When he told me he painted it outside, in Florida,
With rattle can paint, I almost couldn’t get my head wrapped around it. So I looked up this post, so I could mention what I saw. No drips, no bugs, no errors. Finish wasn’t even compounded out.
Some comments have been made about whether it can fly or not, or whether Charles can fly it or not. Well, I know it can fly, and I know I could put it through the pattern with respect. It has a T Bird wing, and moments. So the design parameters are modern enough. Can Charles put it through the pattern? Does it matter? That’s not what this hobby/sport is all about. Charles loves to build. You can plainly see it in his creations. I love to fly. (And Charles told me I’m off my game, a bit, LOL ). I can’t build and paint like Charles does. I get too impatient. So what. Credit should be given where credit is due. And then, leave the rest alone. It’s a hobby, for goodness sakes. Enjoy!
I said this before and I'll say this again, Anyone needing advice with the use of Krylon aerosol cans, I'll be glad to help.
Charles
