Default RE: Cheaper clear coating found

I just sprayed a sample piece of litespan with "KRYLON FUSION for plastics and other type surfaces. I went on terrific. I sprayed about 4 coats about 1 minute apart. The can says 30 seconds between coats andno longer than 24 hours.

It looks great. A nice semi-glossy finish. I coated with KRYLON Acrylic "Crystal Clear" satin finish, non-yellowing, after letting dry for about 30 minutes. Looks fantastic, a very nice
"high sheen" finish but not glossy. Very smooth to the touch. No orange peel. Litespan is a very tight weave fabric and I can just barely seen the weave if I hold it to the light just right. I think, if I had sprayed one more coat of the FUSION (Yellow ) it would have completely filled the weave.

Don't know about nitro fuel proof, yet. However, I wipe my planes down after every flight or two, so I am not too worried about that. I think this is going to work, great.

Thanks for the tips and comments. I will be watching this thread.
