Brief Description: Prepare and etch prime fuselage
|
|
Another perfect day, to perfect not to do some painting, again I did the surface prep while waiting for the temperature to come up, at around 1pm it was nice and warm with no wind, so I shot primer onto both sides of the fuse after masking up the cockpit and engine. The first coat on the left side was not thinned down enough, so in areas it spat a little, but the primer tends to blend itself out quite well. The right side I thinned lots more and it came out just right. The paint instructions say to thin about 10% to 20%, but I have found that 50% works well, I just didn't do it for the first coat because I again read the instructions...anyway, it takes 1 litre of paint to cover the fuse, I am hoping that the wings will require about the same amount of paint.
