Jim I don't know the line you are using but SW makes some good stuff. Paint all your trash cans, barbecue, bicycles, even some neighbors or their kids.(cans and Bikes I mean) once you get the feel you and your HF Airplane Paint Special, will be able to produce a fine paint job you can be proud of. Just think, if something does go wrong the worst that can happen is that you get to sand some more. once you've built a KR you are really good at sanding. Good luck You'll be fine.

I have seen a lot of Chevy pickups up to 20 years old that still look great. Their Arctic White seems to survive well. Consequently, I'm using the Sherwin Williams white and primer. I know it is a little heavier than real aircraft paint, but it is about one third the weight on my wallet. > > The initial painting I have done looks like it was intentional. Using a $37 HVLP gun that I bought from Harbor Freight, the majority of the paint went on the plane and not on the floor. I'm still learning, but by the end of the month, I may have my nerve up to shoot the fuselage. > > Jim Vance > va...@claflinwildcats.com > _______________________________________ > to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net > please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html >
