If this needs to go to the "Paint" forum, feel free to move it.
I also contacted SW and downloaded the data sheets. They are sending a color swatch package and I have a call in to their tech rep for question #1.
I searched and read most if not all the threads on Jetflex but still have a few questions.
1. Has anyone sprayed it on bare aluminum? How did it work out? The idea is weight and labor savings. I know, it's an expensive airplane and should be treated as such but if it sticks well on bare aluminum, why not save the weight.
2. Anyone use a DeVilbiss FLG? What tip size? Gun settings? The product sheet says 40-65 psi for a smooth finish. The gun runs about 23 psi for best results. What did you use?
3. Someone on VAF posted a photo of their interior with the rivets painted a contrasting color. It looks great. How is it done? Photos?

Sal Gomez with Sherwin Williams called. He recommended the solvent based Jetflex with a light primer coat.
Feel free to comment on the solvent based Jetflex regarding the questions above as well.
Thanks in advance.
