[quote="cncampbell(at)windstream."]Ben, I need to go by Home Depot today or tomorrowand thought I would check out the paint. Any particular TYPE I shouldlook for or just latex primer and exterior paint? > Will need to decide if you want your finish coat flat, stain, semi-gloss, gloss,or high gloss and yes you want exterior. I used Satin to get a vintage dopefinish look. Also most manufacturers have 4 or 5 quality levels from cheap toexpensive, I went with one level below the expensive stuff. Its easy to fork over$100 for a couple gallons of paint when you think about the $2500 you aresaving over a full PolyFiber job.rick--------Rick HollandRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: More progress

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Dave's Pietenpol progress photosYour plane is looking really good Dave, thank you for sharing those photos. Itlooks as though you might be ableto begin varnishing and fabric coming in 2011 even which his really commendableand you've stuck with the projectquite a long, long way. You even look the part of a 1930's pilot with your beard,helmet, goggles, and the Stroh'sbrew can sitting far off in the background on one of your work tables. Goodman. Great to see another Pietenpol getting birthed out of another quiet workshop wherethese amazing little fun wood, metal,and fabric planes are manufactured one by one all across this country and elsewherearound the world. You're doing a great job. Mike C.________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: More progress
