Dick N,I remember that you said you painted your plane with house paint. I don'tremember that you gave a lot of details. If you did, just say so and I willlook in the archives. If you didn't would you answer a couple of questions?Did you use any primer on the dacron, i.e., poly brush, or anything else?Did you spray? If so, did you have to thin much? Did you use any UVprotection under it? Any platicizers added? Anything else you learned thatwould help someone following your lead?Thanks, Ted________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2004 22:13:27 -0800

I'm using the polyfiber process... I've already bought the silver Poly-Sprayand am wondering... can I finish using the polyfiber process up toPoly-Spray and then go latex color on top of that?!I had intended on using polyfiber colors but damn!!! it's SOOO expensive.DJ----- Original Message -----

DJ, I painted over silver and also some painted areas in some renewing of my fuselage.It goes on ok, but not as good as using the Latex all the way. I havenot had any real problems with the mixture of the twol. Also I used Sherwin WilliamsPolyurethane as a final coat because the house paint was so soft and wouldscratch easily. The gloss I liked better any way. I brushed some of the Polyand sprayed some. They both looked good.D. Combs ----- Original Message -----
