Agree Dick!
Painting your own-build plane is like giving birth. I did my KitFox once myself, and will do the '12 as well. Perhaps not as pretty as a pro could do, but hey: it's MY plane, and I build it. Besides: you won't notice any tears at 30ft height, will you?
A bunch of aluminum, cloth and rag (in the KitFox period) suddenly became what I had in mind. Suddenly the colors that were only existing in my head (and on one other KitFox in the world, won't tell ya which one) sort of appeared with every spray.
Spraying is big fun. I did it in my one-car garage: made a poor-man's spray-booth out of plastic sheets. Worked fine. And the few sprays that got underneath still remember me for years now what fun I had!
Building your own plane is in-explainably fun, flying it is... Well, you know. Flying your own-build plane is somewhat more exiting, but spraying is a thing of it own. I do wish for you all that you at least once get the chance to do a fern spraying project.
Keep themflying!
