 |

I'd like to get some advice on painting an aircraft. I'm actually from a neighboring forum (Yak-52) but those guys seem to have much more money than I do so a $9000 paint job doesn't seem to bother them much. I don't need a show quality paint job. Any advice would be appreciated. Brand, type paint and sprayer model. I've also got fabric surfaces and have heard varied advice on how to paint those. Thanks.

There are any number of sources of information at your disposal. For some paint related queries, why not simply direct your questions towards a professionally recognized source?
Many of my aircraft painting questions were (and are) professionally answered by contacting Deborah Akey toll free at (800) 357-3738. Debbie is Branch Manager at Aero Performance located in Hangar 10 at the St. Louis Downtown Parks Airport in Cahokia, Il. She and her staff are expert in providing the potential customer with correct information while discussing the recommended application procedures for the line of Sherwin-Williams Jet-Glo and Acry-Glo products they distribute.

I bought the Sam Jones video, Aircraft Painting 101. It covers everything
you need to know. Also, if you are suffering from insomnia, put this tape
on. You will go right to sleep.
