I just placed my order with Tower for the Sig Coverall. I havent decided on a dope yet due to all the options I have learned about here in this and other threads. I have a call in to Nelson Hobbies.
They have a paint that is thinned by water. Cool. I also saw some incredible building/covering techniques in this tread from another posting. It referred us all to the following site.
http://<font color=''#00265e''>http:...dex.htm</font> . The guy who built the plane on that site did as beautiful a job as I have ever seen. Of course, I dont get out much! Everyone definatly needs to see this guys site. The ending will leave you slack jawed. Mr Pierce, I feel for ya buddy. But your reaction to your crash is admirable. After all that work ending up like that, I would have needed valium for many days.
I do have a compressor and gun. But the Nelson paint allows you to use a brush. Look further up in this threadf to get the Nelson Hobbies web address.
I will be posting pics once the Sig arrives. Thanks again for all the tips fellas.

I took the liberty of bolding your thinned by water - this is true and it's great paint. Jerry Nelson recommends filtering his paint when pouring from the bottle into the paint reservoir of the spray gun. What my ex-wife didn't realize is that I always used the Krups gold filter out of the coffee maker. As a matter of fact, she probably still uses that coffee maker and filter lol, so this is a testament that you can filter Nelson paint through a coffee maker filter and it rinses out clean with water with no ill side effects! [8D] Or at least none that I've heard of LOL.
