Hi KLXMASTER14<span style=''font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 11px; background-color: rgb(251, 252, 255); ''> , very nice paint job... I am wondering if you used a spray gun or an air brush in you plane? I have use KK paint, but I canot get the finish that you have in you plane... I have been using a spray gun.

Thanks
I use a cheap Harbor Freight touch up gun. The finish starts with surface preparation. No paint will look good over a poorly prepared surface. Mix your KK, and let it sit for about 30 minutes to begin catalyzation. Then, thin it 3/1 (Thinner/paint). Spray on a light coat, just enough to wet the surface. Repeat until coverage is achieved. Do not try to do it all in one pass!!! That's it in a nutshell.
