Paint?

[rickwallace45]

Scott's Patriot really looks great w/ the Nelson paint - he's obviously
broken the code! 

 

I used it on an FW 190 awhile back, and had a heck of a time with it pulling
up even with the low tack plastic masking tape I was using. I shot it in
light  coats thru a conventional spray gun, and sometimes adhesion was good,
and sometimes it came off all the way to the primer (Century 21 spray bomb
primer btw). 

 

Another friend did a Balsa USA Sopwith Pup with it about the same time - won
People's Choice at Rhinebeck one year, but also had a problem with it
staying down between coats. 

 

NOT putting this up to bash the paint- Scott's plane and others are
testaments that it can be excellent - just saying that I'd really like to go
to school on how to do it right, if there is a special 'right' way to do it.

I use an  HVLP roller...er spray gun (highly recommend the Sata MiniJet 3).

 

Yes, it can be applied over fiberglass (that what System Three is all about)

 

And the clear coat is just the clear as provided by System Three..needed for
that wet look.

Do you apply it like a latex paint with a roller or a 3" brush ;-)

I like the System Three water based polyurethane paints from Nelson Hobbies.

This has to be the safest way to get a fuel proof finish for the
non-professional.  It won't be a '10' like you can get from PPG, but you can
get an 8.5 with it.  Light weight, easy to use, non-toxic, water cleanup and
the finish is very acceptable with a clear coat.

What kind of paints are available out there now to paint planes?  And are
there any that don't required special equipment?
