Default Ready to paint Cowl for Sig Extra 300XS??

I am recovering My extra. Is an Unpainted cowl for the Sig Extra 300 available??? Or can I sand off the paint of a new one, and just prime it for new color?

Thanks in advance

Sand off the paint of a NEW one? Or do you mean an OLD one?

In either case, there should be no reason why you couldn't sand, and repaint a cowl. I've done it lot's of times.

Default Refinishing

Hi Coulter

If your just doing a color change like I did just wet sand the cowl with some 320 grit sandpaper but you do not want to srtip all the paint off the cowl the original paint is a great base for your color and at this point all your pin holes should be covered and you won't even have to use any primer.

Good Luck
Tom

Ok, Thanks.
I was going to get a new cowl from Sig. I cant use the old one because it is oil soaked.

Thanks

Citation X a good filler for small pinholes is 3M Flowable Finishing putty it is a two part system just like body filler, but it sounds very easily and as long as you throw a little bit of primer over it to cover up the sanding scratches it will work perfect for what you want to do with it.
