Subject: Pietenpol-List: Alternative fabric paintHi All,I think it was last year there was a thread on this list addressing the testing of alternative paints other than the expensive aircraft finishes. Therewas an interesting article in this month's Brodhead Piet newsletter about this subject, where the writer suggested the use of KILZ primer and then water-based acrylic enamel I believe (I don't have the article in front of me).Does anyone have some current feedback on their test panels or currently flyingairplanes?

I guess I'm just old fashioned. I plan to roll on coloured butyrate dopefrom the local aircraft supplier. First clear coats brushed in, roll silverthen roll colour. Of course that's a long way away.Bob -----Original Message-----

Heres a pic of my plane. Painted with Sherwin Williams house paint. Wing is Corn Yellow, satin finish and fuse is Gloss Blue. Still looks good after 4 years. I applied a coat of Poly Brush before painting. Dick N ----- Original Message -----
