Hi Guys,
I wrote about an outboard header overflow elbow that was not tightened
in the lower center wing skin and fuel had seeped around the fitting
wrinkling the paint. Recent inquiries require a second response to what
I found.
The wrinkled paint was easy to remove, but the spots that weren't took a
lot of sanding to feather edges. I primed and used a micro roller for
finish coat, as most of it was under the bottom wing joint cover. It was
then sanded and second coated to finish. A polish rub out would blend it
to the rest of the paint, but I don’t think I’ll take it that far.
I’m comfortable with the durability of current water borne urethane
processes, but Bingelis was absolutely right about good brand name
acrylic enamels being much less work and much less costly for the
amateur builder. I’m pleased to see some builders here showing very fine
work with that paint and process.
Fly safe guys,
