Default RE: Painting with Latex

snitch,

I am curious about which brand of urethane clear you "know" doesn't yellow. I need to clear a H-9 white Super Cub that had been Scotch guarded and was still black on the bottom of the bird--nothing that acetone and a few hours doesn't cure--yech. Many posts I have read complain about urethane clear turning yellow in 3-6 months, especially over white!

While I have not tested for nitro protection, some have on this forum. I read awhile back that some urethane clears are good to 15% nitro, if you don't pour the raw fuel on the paint.

Roby, thanks for the advise on the exterior vs interior; I just didn't know the difference.

BTW, I just finished painting a large electric jet (large when you say electric is a relative term) 30" WS foam model with Latex paint, 3 colors. Wow, easy to spray, easy to clean-up and it laid down pretty nicely. I can't wait to start painting my new Ziroli AT-6.
