Homebuilders certainly try hard to express themselves in their work, and you can't blame them. In regards to the Van's series of aircraft, Dick, along with an overwhelming majority of builders, will tell you not to monkey around with the designs. Therefore I would give Van's a call before spraying a flying machine with bilge paint. Airplane paint is formulated for specific applications and stresses, and I never met a boat that would do 200 mph! Wonder what he expects to save by using boat paint? You can get JetGlow in any color imaginable, and the boat guy could probably apply it just as easy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elaine Rosa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2001 12:41 PM Subject: RE: [COUPERS] Digest for [EMAIL PROTECTED], issue 417 ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Hello fellow e-group coupers, I was reading this following letter on list, and wanted to know what your thoughts were. I basically think the fellow is probably making a mistake trying to paint his plane with boat paint. What does everyone else think? I would hate to see him do so and have some major problems after. "Subject: Paint Hi fellow RV Builders I'm currently building the flaps and ailerons for my rv-8. I am trying to decide if I should paint the components as I go along before assembly or take the aircraft apart and paint it later. Any advice about this? Also, I have a friend who does professional boat painting. I have seen his work on sailboats and it is excellent. He has offered to do the painting and is suggesting Awlgrip paint. Is there any reason I should be wary of someone who is a pro but has never painted an aircraft.? Also, what about Awlgrip, is it as good as any for aircraft or is there something better, Immron for instance? Any help would be appreciated.
