It's a combo of PPG DBC for the white, blue, silver canopy and the black fogging. PPG DBU for the yellow and Dupont Chromabase for the red. That's all basecoat paints. As soon as you clean the gun you can mask for the next color. I painted the whole fuse white, then put down all the 1/8" trim tape, then started shooting the colors. The clear is PPG 2021 thinned 200% with DT870. I just took some samples of the monokote to the paint store here in town, went through the color charts, and we picked out some that are really very close to the monokote colors. Couldn't be easier.

My personal opinion is the basecoat paints are no heavier, maybe even lighter then catalysed colors. And they are sooooo easy to spray. Almost like spraying a lacquer. The clear is the only thing with some weight, and thinned 200% makes it pretty light. And very easy to spray.

The primer was PPG K-36.

BTW, in the December issue of RCM was an article on a downdraft dust collector. I built one and it is a real asset in the shop. Really keeps the dust down and clears the air when painting. Look it up, pretty easy to build.

I couldn't wait and even though the wind is howling here I went out and got in two flights. I don't believe there will be any disadvantage to the electric in wind. I am one happy camper right now!
