Need advice on primer/paint application
I bought a Topflite Cessna 310 two years ago. Its in good condition, but I wanted to change the paint scheme, so I am repainting it. Ive read all of the monokote/lustrecoat articles about how to paint monokote, but some gaps of information exist. Thus, I turn to my fellow flyers for advice:
1. Do you sand between coats of primer over monokote. the paint mfg says put on two, or three coats of primer, with no sanding between coats. any ideas here?
2. do I sand between coats of paint? again, the mfg says put on two or three coats, with no sanding between coats;
3. the mfg says after paint has been applied and dried extensively, you then lightly sand the entire painted area before adding the clear coat.
Im open to suggestions and ideas here, BEFORE I start to destroy, excuse me, before I start to paint the plane.
im not intimidated by the painting project; I just want to make sure I am adequately prepared before going to work.
Again, I WELCOME all of your thoughts an ideas.
best regards,
