Hi All Listers.

  

 I have now come to the point where painting is  required:

  

 Does anyone have an  idea of the amount of paint required to paint a  601XL

  

 How much (average)  undercoat is required, and how much final colour is required? Assuming one  colour all over.

  

 Your help would be  greatly appreciated.

  

 Thnx

Per my last two quote for Endura Paint,  two quarts of paint base, and two quarts of hardener.    ONe gallon total depending on the touch and hand that sprays it.  It adds approximately 18 to 20 lbs to over all weight.  That is base primer, base paint and either clear coat or hardener.

Hi Jonathan,

I just painted my 601HDS taking from April to November of 2006.

Paint stock was 1-1/2 gallons primer, 2 gallons of base coat and 1 

gallon of trim color.

I primed and stripped the tail feathers twice before getting it right.  

The actual weight

of the plane after reassembly increased 13 pounds for paint and 2 lbs 

for a main gear plate

upgrade. Of course, a lot depends on what kind of paint you intend to 

use as well.  I went

with a waterborne catalyst-urethane from Aircraft Finishing Systems, 

(now Hangar21 AFS).

I have a paint page on my website that may help you get the job done. 

Lots of

pictures from booth to handling, breathing gear, paint setups for parts 

to finish.

Good luck,
