I have had some cracks in my wheel fairings for some time now.
This month I decided to repair with some fiberglass work and repaint a portion of the fairing. I am having problems with the blending of the paint. I have looked on YouTube, but can only find info on two stage blending, the white used on my -10 is one stage. I have tried some blending but ended up with orange peel at the taper...
No taper leaves a definite paint line.
Can anyone share some tips with me?
I have included shots including my paint gun and paint.
