I just finished a Phase One, an older design but I like it and it will do what I need it to do. I used .5 oz. glass cloth on the whole thing with Z-Poxy resin. I brushed on a second coat to fill the weave without adding much weight, then went to work with 240,400 and 600 wet sand paper, lots of work but worth it. I decided to go with Ace brand rattle can paint and used Spraymax gloss clear to top it off and for fuel proofing (using a YS 140 DZ in this one). I'm very happy with the results and have used it on some other airplanes. It's slightly heavier than Moneykote but much more durable and I'll continue using it. I think good finishes just take time and effort.
