RE: PassTime Perigee Build thread
So now I am thinking.....
Do I continue with this Indigo Blue translucent paint, or should I go back, and buy the deep blue which will cover better?
I will say that a call to Klass Cote gave me the info that the indigo is the only paint that they have trouble getting pigment for, it comes liquid, rather than solid, and it is a bit translucent. They were very helpful, and suggested 2 coats.
If I get a different color, I will have to re-shoot the left wing that I have finished. It will add weight, but being the left panel, that will help offset the muffler. Not a bad trade-off.
On the side of continuing with the indigo, I would only have to shoot the body and right wing panel. Maybe it will come out OK
My final decision is to go with the deep blue, which should be opaque solid color. I am too afraid that the body will show the peeled paint line through the following coats.
So a little more work, but guaranteed better results have won out. Originally, I wanted to have this done by the middle of May (HA!) So the new target is July, still enough time to trim out and get some air time in.
Stay tuned, and thanks for all the silent "aw ****s" that I heard out there.
