Paint Booth




Tried out the new paint booth set up on the empenage assembly. The new primer was nice to work with. I went to a fancy cooking store to get a small assortment of dippers to mix the 5:1 ratio on the primer/activator for Dupont's OEM/Fleet grad Corlar primer. The sales lady was wondering what planet I dropped in from...

What's nice about the new primer was was you just mix it and shoot it. The industrial grade (a darker grey) has to be thinned somewhat to shoot. The wings and fusalage should be a bit of a wrestling match to primer... Stay tuned!
