[QUOTE=2 Piece;12319384]what color of Solartex did you use? what color of paint are you trying to apply? in the cockpit area what did you seal the balsa with before you applied the paint?[/Q
painting with cub yellow. I didnt use anything in the cockpit area before applying the yellow. I read lustrecote's site last night and they recommend using primer first, followed with color and then clear. I believe I will try a can of primer and see how well it covers. by the time I have to purchase a spray gun and the paint I would probably be better off using the rattle cans if the primer covers well.
thanks
