Pat It looks fabulous as always.

Thanks for the update. I just finished my repaired Agenda . Everything was going well until it came to the clear. Go figure :-) Now I hate shooting Clear Coat too :-)

I shoot it using a 1.4 nozzle on a full size HVLP sprayer. And on the first coat I got a lot of orange peal, on the Fuse and wings, the stab and rudder was just regular orange peal, I should say it was Moon Craters not orange peal. It pulled together in to large blobs, and areas that had little to nothing.

I tried to smooth with another coat, but that didn't work so I added the final coat, hoping to prevent cutting through when I sanded it off.

Alas, I spent a lot of time sanding it off and sanded through anyway. :-).

After another attempt at a shooting clear over it all, the same thing happened, So I sanded it down again, and cut through again in places :-) So I gave up and went with a detail sprayer and airbrush to fix area's where I had cut through.

it came out really nice, but the weight increase from the clear, not counting Fuse (~180-200g) was about double what I had added with surface prep and color (~80-100g). Most likely because I didn't get it all off, as I was afraid of cutting through and having to start the color over.

I am going to practice some more with the graphics and graphic techniques you have shown here and try again with another plane. It may be a lot of work, but it is so satisfying when you see the final results.

Thanks again for doing the tread and getting me hooked.
