Default Painting a cowling, doing it right this time - I hope
ilikeplanes,
Are you using the rustoleum sandable auto primer or the red oxide primer. The red-oxide primer is for rusty metal(contains fish oil) and should not be used for painting fiberglass or ABS plastic. I checked the can of primer I have says you can wet sand in 20 minutes after it has been applied. I also checked to see if I could scrape the paint of my cowl and I couldn't scrape it off. I find it hard to believe that I am the only one using rustoleum products on my plane. I'd be willing to bet that Rustoleum sells more paint than Perfect Paint and Lustrekote combined. If Rustoleum was such bad paint why would so many stores sell it?
