Paint the Plane

[bret]

So apparently I have some down time (save $ for the next kit) I have decided to paint the parts I have built, (flat block sanding on a bench VS on a ladder and upside down on a creeper thing). I have painted cars in the past with acrylic enamel...but this new stuff is WAY different. So, this is where I am at. Blend tips....long story.... scotchbrite Maroon with dawn, degrease, tach cloth, Mix epoxy primer 2 coats, wet block sand, mix sealer, spray, shoot base, shoot intercoat clear. mask and do all airbrush work, shoot clear. Ta Da!...I am only at the intercoat clear, so I will let you know. what I have learned so far..ISO Car....deadly vapor gas, kills and stuff, temp for the media U R shooting. learn good block sanding technique for prep

We're going to need pics to properly give you a grade.

Testing with the upload thing, but if it is here, this is the epoxy primer block sanded getting ready for primer/sealer. First try of rudder skin on the wall for color testing.
