Jul 02, 2020 100 Prime & top coat Category: C25 Paint
Here are pictures of my test panel and then post-paint airplane parts.

I used two test panels and did what I could to screw up the chemistry of the paint. I put the primer and top coat on with and without
- surface de-greasing
- sanding
- conversion time
- brushing vs rolling

Those experiments gave me an understanding of what it might do. There were no paint failures, but I still did my best to follow directions when applying paint to real parts.

Three of the pictures show a board bolted to the wing spar, I used this in rotating the plane; my engine hoist was raised as high as it would go and the nose supported on saw horses. The fuse was rotated on its longitudinal axis and set on wheeled sawhorses. Other builders have much higher shop ceilings or armies of manly friends. I dinked around with various approaches until I found this, which worked for me.
