Default Flour Orange Covering

Hey Guys, I am covering my 35% Extra in alot of neon orange monokote. Is there any secret to working with this color. It seem to be extremely hard to apply using my normal covering techniques. I cant seem to shrink out ripples and then it turns yellow with to much heat. Any Thoughts on this????

Can't help you with the Monokote, but Ultracote works like a dream.

I have used it on one plane. Have to turn you heat down on iron and take you time and move faster with the heat gun. Don't stay in one spot to long. The yellow neon is the same way. A big pain in the but.

I can't help you with how to use it, as I never have so I don't know if it's different from the regular stuff.

But I CAN tell you this - When you're not flying, keep it out of the sunlight.

The sun will make those flourescent colors fade in only one or two seasons

I agree with MINNFLYER, the neon colours are nice but they fade in a hurry.

If I do use them I put them on the belly of the AC - that way they get 'LESS' exposure to sunlight and will last 'LONGER'. []
