RE: [COUPERS-FLYIN] questions

[Ed Burkhead]

----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]----

First question...I am trying to contact the guy who's Coupe is so
beautifully display in this website:

http://home.earthlink.net/~ostifone/

Does anyone know his email address or at least his "N" number.

Two..I am considering stripping the paint off my Coupe and leaving it
bare metal.  What is the best process, after it is stripped, to treat
the metal.  The ones I have seen stripped to the bare metal in the paint shop look awfully dull and ugly. Someone mentioned to me something about an acid etch to make them shiny.  Is there any truth to this or does the shinedˆW simply come from the "Armstrong" method. Is there any way to keep it shiny longer?

 

Last question.  My wings are fabric and were recently recovered and painted white. They are absolutely beautiful and spotless.  I want to paint them a different color.  Do I strip the paint and what type of paint should be used on fabric.  I read that fabric should only be painted with non-hardening, vinyl-based paint. Urethanes and other epoxy-based paints cannot, even with flexative agents, become flexible enough for use on fabric.  Any experience from the wise on this?

Thanks
