Aircraft finishing systems (AFS)

Looks like AFS might be the least destructive to my lungs to include fairly easy prep/application/cleanup. Big question, though, is what color is it? Aircraft Spruce doesn't give a color in the catalog.

The primer comes in White, Dark Grey and Green. The Green is a fairly light green. I'm not cure what Spruce carries...I've always just ordered direct.

I like that the AFS goes on thin and expecially the water base mixing/clean up. I just did my inside surfaces right wing top skins yesterday. The AFS cleaner with a purple scotchbrite gets the surfaces cleaner than with Dawn. THe AFS etch is also mild and effiective.

I also just got an airbrush and found I can put a light coating of AFS primer right on the rib mating surfaces for a little more protection than just alodyne (that stuff scares me and except for small parts, I may never use again) in the wing stand.

I plan to order some of the AFS paint and try our.
