With new paint on the beast, I have been looking at wing walk materials to protect the paint. ACS has lots of options. There was one long ago comment that was negative on the clear stuff. The old standard 3M black tape seems to be preferred material. I think that the high visibility of the black stuff might be better for keeping guests off of the fuel tank area. Thoughts ?

We just put our 3M from ACS on painted wings without the recommended additional glue and it has a few bubbles forming. I have not tried to get them out yet but would try the glue if I had it to do over .

I would use the special glue. I put some of the ACS wing walk material on an RV-7 wing a few years ago. The edges started pealing up. I didn't try the special glue at the time, but definitely would in the future.

Mike,
The clear stuff we used works great. We added an outline to define the step area but many passengers don’t seem to be able to color within the lines. Also of note dirty wet shoes do show on the clear wing walk. It is easy to wipe off but if it were black you eliminate one more thing to spiff up. If I were to do it again I would have painted the skid the same color as my outline (steel blue-ish).
