Default RE: Automotive paint

Thanks for the input guys! Stevenmax, My plane is covered in White Solartex. It's an Iron-on fabric. I had only used monokote before this but I'm hooked now. It goes on so smoothly and stretches really well around those tough curves. I though the wing tips were going to kill me but it really wasn't that bad! I think I am definately going to get the hardener and add it.

Does anyone know how long I should let this plane'spaint jobcure before I expose it to engine residue?

Poffit, I guess I'll be a guinea pig for you. I will certainly report back some good results one way or another. I wont be painting until next week or weekend sometime.
