Default canopy painting question

Hey, Scott; that photo brings back some memories! Has that fellow (Heli-Tech?) made good on his claim to get the parts flowing again?

Here's a glass canopy I just finished, using an airbrush and automotive lacquer. That stuff is SOOOO easy to work with and just about idiot proof once you get your air mixture adjusted right.

The clear coat was shot by an auto body shop detail gun; if you are into painting canopies, it's a REAL good idea idea to befriend someone with this equipment. The clear coat MAKES the paint job, in more ways than one.
