Default Nelson Paint

Warbird_1,

I used Nelson paint on my TF P-40 and was quite pleased with it. I believe Jerry Nelson can mix it to any FS color you want. There are a couple of things I learned. First, don't sand the primer finer that 150-220 grit. The paint will fill the surface nicely and you can sand the first top coats as much as you want. This will minimize the possibility of poor adhesion. This is a water based paint and it relys on mechanical bonding. Second, you need to clean your spray equipment immediately after use as the paint drys very fast. You should also use the cross linker to make it more fuel proof.

I like the fact that it contains no nasty solvents, and I sprayed it indoors without any problems.

Good luck,

Paul
