[NSRCA-discussion] Painting

[Atwood, Mark]

I would agree with Ed about the KlassKote paints (though I typically still use mostly PPG) but would advise against the KlassKote white primer which is fairly heavy compared to the PPG K-36 primer or K-2 primer.

Yes you sand a lot of it off, but it's a heavy filler.

I suggest you look into the KlassKote epoxy paints.  Less expensive than PPG Concept or Omni and can be applied very light.  It flows out nicely and with the exception of their Yellow and Insignia Blue, have very good opaqueness with one gloss coat after the initial tack coats.

Yes, the PPG paint has gone up a bunch over the last 2 years.... I had it, but there is really nothing I can do about it but pass it along...

I am painting the Emotion and I need to do it pretty quick. I was a complete idiot I guess today, I flew the contest yesterday with 4 rounds and one test flight in the morning, though I was good for a test flight this morning, then I was going to switch battery packs. Well, I didn't make it through the flight. Bye Bye Abbra! lol
Oh well. On to the next one.  [http://mail.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/04.gif]
I was considering the Creswell contest so I need to get this done quick. Maybe covering would be quicker.

Anyone know any cheaper PPG resources other than Radio South (no offense Tony, you have always given me perfect paint and service) ? Did the prices go up ( and I can understand with the epa stuff going on) in the last several years? I don't remember them being so high to paint my last one a few years back. With 8-10 colors and clear , I'm guessing it would cost me a fortune to paint this. Any ideas are appreciated!

Thanks!
Chris

I'm guessing you are painting the new Emotion?

Don Ramsey has an excellent DVD with step by step instructions. Can't imagine a lighter way to do it.

Has anyone come across any really good articles on how to paint wings and stabs lightly.

Thanks!
