Zolatone for the interior. It is bulletproof, hides all sort of minor sins and fasteners disappear in the pattern. Use the real stuff, not the spray cans.
It requires a pressure pot, a large nozzle and very good masking. The surface is primed with an epoxy primer and then gets two coats, the second sprayed at 36" from the surface.
I like the exposed/unpainted fastener look?to a point. Dunno about all the rivets on the cap strips, though. I might try to apply some semi-gloss Jetflex over the rivets here with a small paint roller after final assembly (will practice on scrap to see if the rolled paint looks OK).
Anybody here with Jetflex touch-up experience?
+1 for the Zolatone. It's somewhat difficult to spray, being thick with chunks in it, but the results are worth it. The first coat puts the base color on and the second coat adds the splatters. I painted my baggage compartment with it probably ten years ago and it has been extremely durable and I like the look. Since that time, I've made some modifications back there and now need to touch them up. Aircraft Spruce only carries gallons, apparently, so I bought a quart ($53) of Apollo Gray from autobodysupply.net. I also bought one of their "ZOLATONE 8209 POWER SPRAY KITS, FOR SPRAYING ZOLATONE COLORS." for $14. I hope it works because I really don't want to use my big gun back there.Zolatone for the interior.
