[NSRCA-discussion] Nelson Hobby Paint

[John Pavlick]

Haven't tried that. I actually paint in my basement so I really like the Nelson paint. I don't think PPG would be so friendly. I do have access to a spray booth sometimes so if the PPG top coat method works it may be a good solution. Only one way to find out...

  Have you tried spraying a coat of Imron or Concept clear over the latex acrylic? What's the compatibility like?

  I've used it too. I like it for all the reasons Scott described and I also noticed the issue with the gloss. I wet sand the clear with 400 then 1200 followed by coarse and fine compound then Liquid Glass wax. It's OK but not what I would call a "wet" look. I haven't tried just shooting a final coat of clear and leaving it alone. That might be the trick.

    I’ve done four 2 meter planes with this paint.  As for durability, it is a VERY tough finish.  (It took me days to sand the finish off a recycled canopy!)  Use the cross linker and you will not have any problems with fuel.

    The weight is very light, but that all depends on the painter.  

    One thing you can’t do is “600 wet sand” the base.  The paint bonds mechanically and so it needs some ‘tooth’ to adhere to.  (That info is in the instructions, do read them!)  

    Clean up is a breeze and there’s no odor while spraying.  The primer works very well and sands easily once cured (allow a couple days.)  

    All in all, lot’s of advantages.  Only one drawback that I saw…it’s a very dull finish (even with several coats of the clear gloss.)  The paint is so tough that hand buffing has little affect.

    BTY, the paint is repackaged from System Three so more info can be found at www.systemthree.com (Looks like they just came out with a new high gloss product!)

Has anyone used the water soluble Nelson Hobby paint?
  How is it for durability and weight?
