I've decided to try some Klass Kote epoxy paint for some bagged wings. I'll
be applying the paint to the mylars prior to bagging. I have ordered some
#100 white epoxy, some #405 gloss catalyst and some reducer. Here are my
questions;

1) I would like some recommendations on spray equipment to use for applying
the paint to the mylars. I have zero experience with anything other than
rattle cans so specifics on what to use, where to get it and how to use it
will not offend me.

2) Is it OK to just spray the white paint with catalyst on the mylar and
then go directly to bagging the wings or would it be better to spray primer
after the paint and then bag the wings? Would there be any advantage to
using the primer at all, perhaps better adhesion to the wing layup.

3) How long should I wait after painting the mylars before bagging the wing?
I assume that this is a chemical cure situation, not an air dry type of
paint so it could be bagged as soon as the paint is dry enough that the
mylars could be handled. Perhaps there would even be better adhesion of the
paint to the wing layup if the wings were bagged sooner rather than waiting
for a full cure of the paint. I assume that the paint will continue to cure
normally even after the wing is bagged. Am I right about all this?
