Time to paint the cabin.  Any opinions on gloss vs satin vs matt?  The -10 cabin is pretty big, any advantages/disadvantages of light vs dark shades etc?  I am a philistine when it comes to color selection, paint schemes, interior design and other shiela stuff - and I don't think my wife is much better ;-(.  I hate this part.  Let me pound them rivets and crimp them wires any day . . .  

All suggestions hugely appreciated.   

thanks in advance  

Ron

I think we will be going with a gun metal gray  semigloss interior; probably maroon seat belts to match the deep maroon  tips,spinner, etc.. Aircraft will be matterhorn white. Panel is powder coat  gray. glareshield will be flat black.

Hi Ron,  

I’d have a look at Tim Olsons website. He has some great tips on paint, finishes and interior links.

Ron,



I like a satin or matt finish, but not quite flat or eggshell.  You

might want to avoid the reflectivity of gloss.  On my site I have

some stuff about PPG DX 685 I think is the number.  That stuff

you can add to both clearcoat and paint and it's a flattening

agent.  I added about 20oz to ever 32 of paint per the ratio

instructions...somewhere between semi-gloss and eggshell if

I rememeber right. I very much like how the flattness came out.

On a couple of panels like headset jack covers, I made it too

flat and I don't like that as much.  My big regret about

the interior is that I painted WAY too much stuff.  I should

have primed and left much of it and saved money and weight.

Abby's interiors are so nice that you don't have much metal left

to see when you're done.



As for colors, you can't go wrong with grey shades, but many

others will look good too.  I prefer a darker interior myself.

I am using RM (BASF) single step paint UNO-HD.  It is a light gray satin 

finish (flattner is already mixed in).  The color or stock number is 

9112A 225306.  It is compatible with the Akzo Nobel primer that I am 

using.  I am planning on a silver gray headliner, charcoal floor mats, 

and light gray side wall panels.  I had the rudder peddle supports, 

control stick and center canopy support powder coated charcoal.  You can 

see photos here
