Hi Srikar,

I see from your photo that you sanded off almost all the primer. I am not sure of your painting experience, I''ll share mine.

You really have two options,

A: If your using a high solids paint like Concept DCC. you could do a white base - a little on the heavy side and then wet sand it to perfection with 400-600 grit. Be prepared to do touch up and work on pin holes. You could be surprised to fin a lot of pinholes and areas where you sanded thru the cloth. So going straight to a white base could /can be done if your base is sealed and smooth. Did you wet sand the plane in this photo?

B: Shoot another coat of primer with your paint gun. Fix any pinholes / dry areas and then sand that coat of primer to perfection with 400-600 grit wet. Try to get a very thin and even coat of primer. You might have to go back with a large airbrush and shoot more primer in spots where you sanded thru. Then shoot color without the need to base the entire plane in white. If your using DCC the colors cover the gray primer very well. If your using a lesser quality of paint you may have to base your whole plane in white.


I would suggest you shoot a nice even coat of primer and see how well you filled and sealed the wave before you shoot any color. What can happen is if you shoot a white base coat now you might have too many small surface defects like pinholes, dry areas, and bare wood. You won''t know until you spray paint on the surfaces...

Also - the paint brands of "shop line" and "value pro" are very thin paints and you should avoid using them, my suggestion is to also stick to DCC Concept...

It looks like your on the right track, the plane looks great so far. Good luck and happy priming
