Paint and finishing / Re: Electric powered airplane finishes
« Last post by Tim Wescott on Today at 08:12:22 PM »Thank you for the comment about weight gain when putting on silver and all the rest. I have an electric that's been on the bench for way too long, so it is going into the air without even silver on it. My intent is to finish the finish later. It is nice to know how much weight it will gain in the process.

Paint and finishing / Re: Electric powered airplane finishes
« Last post by Tim Wescott on Today at 08:09:05 PM »Given that you have started with dope, I would finish with dope. There are alternative finishes, but I think you would want to start with the base coat and go up.
Besides, one of the special things about electric is that you're in the pits next to people fueling up their sliders. And sometimes, fuel will spill on your airplane. So you probably still want something that's at least fuel resistant, if not fuel proof.

Paint and finishing / Re: Flight test before paint
« Last post by Ken Culbertson on Today at 07:57:43 PM »if you fly it and don't like it the paint job might suffer. If you paint it first at least you'll like it for a good paint job.If you fly it and don't like it then you can fix it and like it. A good finish will take as long as building the plane. There is a very simple way to keep glow fuel off of the plane - don't use any! I have never done this but you could iron on some SLC over the place exhaust hides. Who knows, that slightly heavy jewel might just be a winner with MonoKote or end up Mrs Piggie if you loaded on the glassy finish.

I need more than double that (preferably tripple) for this to be viable.
