Paint...Paint...Paint....what a pain
So I jumped in and thought I would try my hand at painting, on a budget here, until I started buying paint stuff, wow this is not cheap, too late now. got to paint it all now. http://s895.photobucket.com/albums/a...t=DSC01792.jpg

Yep, I did my interior with Dupont Chroma One
Not as easy as we might think. Next plane I'll just use aerosol cans  . It is tough stuff and mine even has different textures that I did not even plan on  .

Venting with 3 20" filtered fans out, 1 filtered swirl cage pressure in and full face 3M respirator, paint suit, nitrel gloves, and yes I know about ISO cyanide, bad bad stuff, already changed out the cartridges, should have bought a fresh air hood. took a month to do this, made lots of mistakes and re blocking - learning sessions.

Looks very nice. Keep at it!
Couple of comments: - wear a head hood (maybe you do and just were posing for the pic)
- wear gloves
- cut some old nylon socks for gauntlets, that clear is sticky!
- a forced air full-face mask is really nice. Borrow one if you can.
- the booth is a little small. Keep well clear of the walls as you will kick up dust when the gun sweeps near a wall. It gets worse as you progress and the walls get more paint on them.
- be very careful dragging the hose around for the same reason. And wipe it down before each session.
- color sanding and a good buffer are your friends!
- when you get discouraged, go look at the paint on a new car...you will feel much better!

O good a painter, I am not, so here is a question, I am using Chromabase spectramaster RM046 (metallic) can you color sand this before clear, I tried a small smudge but it messed up the metallic, and how long before you can sand and buff the clear. there are flaws but they are not visible from 10 feet, there are a lot of do overs in that booth (learning curve) I might reline it. thanks
