Rick, that's one ugly duck airplane or whatchamacallit! That's the kind of plane I would secretly love in the workshop, and never let it leave the house out of embarrassment!
Sorry, I know it's not nice to say such things about someone elses airplane, but man!
LMAO What has short wings, fat and is yellow and black? It isn't a bumble bee it's a _______ _______ !
I guess it's a lonely man kind of airplane. lol! Ok, I'll stop- sorry Rick. That wasn't very nice of me.
Yes, all Rustoleum enamel paints are glow resistant. That means you don't want to leave old spent glow oil on it without cleaning it. Over time the fuel will eat away at the paint if left on. On my DVII there was one area I didn't clean enough (right at the storage handles on the fuse towards the back of the plane) After 4 years the paint turned into a chemical rubber and it started to peel off.
That's 4 years! If you clean your plane thoroughly after each flight, you will have no problems with your Rustoleum paint. I do Lustercote over areas that will be constantly under attack with glow fuel (like right under the cowl or right behind the muffler) or when I use water based paint like acrylics, but other than that I don't use Lustercote. Be careful using automotive lacquers. I made that mistake when I tried it on my rubber wheels, and it ate the foam rubber. Cost me anothe $55 for those Dubro 1/5 scale Vintage wheels. I wrote about it in my GP Fokker Dr1 build and modification. That's when the late Del Johnson (Deljon) told me what paint to get for the tires.
When using Rustoleum, make sure when you are done painting with it you let it fully set and dry before taking the plane out to the field. It fully cures in about 2-3 weeks, after that you are all set. Many people don't know that, and usually they are the ones that don't know the true curing time on these paints and state that you can't use Rustoleum. It is a very understandable misconception.
So I make sure I remind people to use Rustoleum, let it cure for 2-3 weeks and you are good to go. Just keep it clean!
