Problems...

How could there be any problems with something that looks so good?

The most beautiful rv8 I have ever seen, I would like to paint mine black too but I have a question...How the epoxy parts of the plane feel at high temperature? Did you use a special prime before painting?
thanks

Thanks for all the kind words about my plane. As far as the expoy and the heat the people Alfapoxy, West Sys and Sika all said they did not think the extra heat would be a problem. The second photo was taken before I painted the checkers on the spinner and before I put the cowl / canopy skirt graphics on. All the checkers are paint. I am flying it alot so I can get done with phase one so I can take it to OSH. Thanks agin
