RE: Lets try to paint a Q40
Here is the plan, today primer, tomorrow paint white and sunday all of the colors panel lines and clear.
These first two pictures are of me doing something that a great builder and friend Jim Shinohara showed me back in the old F1 days. We make a mix of baby powder and lacquer thinner to a paste and rub all over the wing. Anyone that has ever built a conventional wing ( balsa sheeted foam ) knows what a pain it is if you have any pin holes in the glass. You rub the paste all over let it dry for a few minutes and wipe it off with a paper towel like wiping off wax. The paste remains in the weave and pinholes and only requires a little bit of primer to cover.
Always remember primer is very heavy!
I realise that alot of you buy airplanes already painted white so this does not apply but sundays paint part will.
