I have a RV-4 that first flew in '90. I am the third owner. It doesn't look bad but the top and bottom cowlings are looking a little bad. They have been touched up over the years, looks like the bottom has been repainted. There is some surface cracks and crazing. The paint on the wings, fuselage, etc. looks pretty good.
I want to paint top and bottom cowling and spinner. I need some advice. Strip it down? If so how. I heard stripper for fiberglass has changed. I have heard of soda blasting. If I get it stripped does it need to be primed and with what.
I'm not looking for a show plane, but I want to do it once right.
N399M Serial # 999 used to be N32KL and then CFNEF
