Mine had Jet Glo professionally applied about 9 years ago. It had gotten some chips on the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer, probably from gravel strip operation. I also chipped the leading edges of the gear fairings from cowling removal. I think it has been fine. I doubt if there is much difference in any of the polyurethane paints.I'm starting to think of paint.
Anyone had Jet Glo on their plane for a couple years? How is it standing up? Would you use it again?

It is absolutely wounderful and expensive, but what paint is not. Its a polyurethane one step paint, not automotive base/coat clear coat system. Its a division of Sherwin Williams and my old RV4 was pointed with it and won a workmanship award at an EAA fly in; the paint sold it. I sold it but the paint was as nice as the day it was shot 6 years later. The paint is about 11 years old and bet it still looks good. The paint is fuel resistant and shines very nicely. Durability is not in question, that is what its made for. You can get stock colors or you can get custom colors. Aviall is a distributor. JetGlo goes on and does shine and glow. You do have to prep, etch, alodine, prime like any paint system.I'm starting to think of paint.

Thanks for the replies. My painter guy started using this a couple years ago and loves it and it looks awesome on some planes he has done.
I may look into the Acryglo. Can they tint this stuff in any color or do they just do stock colors? I have something pretty wild in mind.
