Painting oracover???
Hi
I have a lot of oracover but it is not the colour i want to put on my plane.
Is it possible to paint it when i have ironned it to the plane?
The wing is with ribs and not sheeted in the middle will this work also?
Will i have to give it some primer or something before i start?

Just clean it very well. you can lightly scuff it up with an abrasive pad or steel wool.
My experience has told me that primer is not necessary, as a matter of fact it seems to make the paint more prone to scratching off.
You can still tighten the surface after painting, but you have to be careful with the heat so as not to bubble the paint.
