<<I paint canopies for several people...>>

Hmmm... wish I'd known that. I would have cut some sort of deal with you.

This airbrush just isn't cutting it. Oh, it works fine, but this automotive lacquer flashes so fast I really gotta hump to get an even coat applied before the first part dries. The airbrush just doesn't put out enough paint.

I really should get a detail gun and compressor, but I just don't do enough of this work to justify the expense. I've got a local guy who shoots the clear; I do everything else. But its hard to drop several hundred bucks on gear that will only be used once or twice a year.

Gonna shoot the final trim coats on the X-Cell 30 glass canopy today.

Min, lacquer is better than enamel, IMO. it's lighter, dries faster, and flows on smoother from the gun- at least for me. But it seems the enviro-nazis have declared lacquer an Evil Thing: I hear it has been banned in several communist states already. We lost Hobbypoxy due to that crap. If we're not careful, we'll allow those extremist idiots to have us all eating bean sprouts and wearing filter masks...
