Hi Strykaas,
i dont know anything about this process other than what I have read in the warbirds forums, & the F86 thread here, but I did find that it only added 11oz to the total weight. It is a Yellow aircraft P38.
It is an amazing process that they are very cagey about saying too much about how they do it (as I would be too!!!)
I still think the shuttle would look awesome, just glad it's not me that has to polish it
Tony..
