Default RE: Finishing a King Kobra

Thanks, I was thinking to glass and paint but I would have ended up doing an arfy like finish (so I can see it) anyway so I thought ah... Ultracote! Plus I have too much on my plate for a bigger job such as glassing. I still have to get my 27% gassers ready for this season. I think I would go nuts without my 50cc extra 260 and I'm really missing my 50cc Ultimate too, needs a new engine...

I have glassed before and I prefer using zpoxy, unthinned with a roller. It does a perfect finish with very little sanding. I used .5 oz cloth on a wing and I JUST filled the weave with 3 rollings sanded with 100 grit for 5 minutes then 20 minutes with 220 and then 20 minute with 400, ready for paint! I used the home hardware 4" foam rollers cut down to 2". U have to cut them down or u will loose A LOT of zpoxy into the roller.
