Default RE: ABX Disaster...How I fixed an obliterated wing/pix...

thanks...just don't use Krylon plastic paint. THEY LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It really does not stick great to the fuse part. I wiped with laq thinner to prepare and remove mold release. Hardly helped. Good thing the fuse takes little abuse(if all goes well!)so it is okay. I asked another guy what he used to paint his...but have not heard back from. I guess had i steel wooled(oo)it as well it might have helped.

Touch ups are easy though. it's just rattle canned at 14" to get the fade effect. Would rather have had it look like chrome...way cool that would be. but I don't think it can be done bright enough and I think a good shiny chrome paint (like bumper paint?)would be too heavy for that same reason. See, there you go...when I can't fly...I think of other useless but cool stuff. I would get kicked out of any meditation class...I can't stop thinking about this or that!!
