Subject: Pietenpol-List: was glue question now latex paintSo what is the best type of latex paint we should use on our fabric ?I'm going to build my next Piet for under $5K using Elmers, Home Depot lumber,all aluminum fittings, Ace Hardware, and latex paint with a junkyard Suzuki Sidekick engine and then............take my family and loved ones for airplane rides !!!PS-- though I'm not a fan of latex, I don't blame some builders from using itbecause of the cost savings and easy clean up...even if it normally does look likecrap. ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2010 11:14:55 -0500 (EST)

Seriously, though... everything I've seen about theuse of latex paint on aircraft indicated that theSherwin-Williams product was the best. ConsumerReports always seems to rank their product at thetop of the heap in their testing. I testedsome Valspar Ultra Premium that is supposed to benearly as good at lower cost but it has not flownon an aircraft that I know of.Sidebar: after nearly a half-dozen sincere attemptsby the paint specialist at Lowe's to match the Poly-Tone yellow paint that I took for them to match theValspar latex to, they couldn't do it. Not thatthe Poly-Tone color is an oddball though... it'sthe exact color that is used on every yellow stripethat you see painted on every road and highway inthe country... "Federal Yellow".Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________
