I bought a gallon of SW Jet Flex and getting ready to paint my interior so I loaded my gun and sprayed (4) 1' foot sample squares.
I wanted to set up my gun, see how this stuff sprays and test its durability..
The 4 samples were as follows, 1. dirty alum, 2. cleaned and etched, 3. Cleaned etched and alodine, 4. cleaned etched, alodined and primed.
No issues spraying but after 1+ week of cure time I am disappointed at how easily I can chemically remove or soften this paint. Alcohol, lacquer thinner, skydrol, 5606 all attack it with not much effort.
I don't think I am going to use it, what a waste of $160. I know its intended for cabin interiors but my cabin has fuel and hydraulic fluid in it.. An airline cabin has coffee and wine.. and actually I dont think WR is used widely in the certified world, not sure...
I manage a couple Corporate airplanes painted with Jet Glo and it is amazing alcohol and Lacquer thinner cant even begin to bother it..
I want more durability...
Everyone seems pretty happy with Jet Flex.... What am I missing?
Can anyone comment as to how well JF has held up over time to general cleaning, 5606 and fuel....
Thanks
