OzCover and RhinoCover
Does anyone know if OzCover is still being sold in the states? I understand Art Graybow has passed away and he used to be the seller here in the states

RE: OzCover and RhinoCover
I've heard of it, and used the Oz Cover and was relatively satisfied with it.
It was imported from Saturn Hobbies in Australia I believe. Do some searching for that and you should be able to come up with someone who distributes it.;

Well, I've sent a second email to Tony at Saturn Hobbies of Australia. Guess I'll have to wait and see if I hear back from him this time.

RE: OzCover and RhinoCover
Well, I still haven't heard back from Tony at Saturn Hobbies of Australia. I used the email from on his website @ http://www.saturnhobbies.com.au . Anybody else have a different email address for Tony, or any other ideas on who to contact?

RE: OzCover and RhinoCover
Tony at Saturn was the guy exporting it. I have no idea who else to contact..??
I was a pretty big advocate of Ozcover several years ago, as it went on easier than both Mono or Ultracote. It was also lighter. After I appllied it, you were instructed to wipe it clean with acetone, and then you could paint it (it only came in clear). I used this for several Q500 racing fuselages and painted it white. The covering remained smooth and never wrinkled after painting (even after a couple years).
Unfortunately, two friends of mine purchased some after my recommendations and attempted to do some masking over painted portions of the ozcover and the tape pulled the paint up from the ozcover. Both were pretty frustrated, although Art could not explain how this happened.
