Well, it's time to glue the canopy & back glass in my tipup -7, & I need 

to paint the interior before the back glass gets glued in. For a variety 

of reasons, I used NAPA 7220 self-etch primer prior to assembly on all 

parts that show, in the baggage area and cockpit. Can anyone recommend a 

tough paint for the interior that will work over the 7220?



Desired features are: sticks to 7220, tough, ease of application, and 

high probability of survival during/after application (not necessarily 

in that order).



I'll probably go with just paint & upholstered seats, & will use a very 

light gray since exterior color has not yet been selected. I thought 

about one of the automotive 'trunk' paints, but don't want a speckled look.



Anyone been there/done that with some recommendations?



Thanks,



Charlie

I just finished using Sherwin Williams water-based JetFlex on top of 

7220.  I did lots of adhesion tests and absolutely no problem.  There 

are a new quirks (using a larger diameter nozzle for your gun and 

cleaning with water and then MEK).  You can read more about my 

experience in our September newsletter:

or contact me off list.
