Gee Guys, You are making ME worry about the quality of my finish. After two coats of smooth prime,and three of u2k, I have decided that I will never reach even close to a perfect finish, So I made the command decision to declare it done, and ready for paint. Small imperfections be damed. I want to fly this thing this spring and I don't want to add any more wt. with fillers. I have a rare KR2 in the respect that it only weighs 535lbs. empty(before finish paint). Now for a new one to chew on, is it permisable to make your own Data plate from raw stock? Or do you have to use an approved plate?

Joe, My experience has been, that after the Smooth Prime, comes the real priming and sanding. At least then, you can wet sand it. There is no way that you will have all the pin holes out of it after smooth prime, so now the real work begins. The nice thing about having that layer of Smooth Prime on there is that, if you put on a grey primer, you quickly know when it is time to stop sanding, look for pin holes, fill them, prime, and start sanding all over again.
