As of now only a handfull (7) of Europa's have signed up, I can't imagine this number won't go up quickly after this reminder... [Wink] If you are planning to visit, please sign up at: http://www.flyin.nl PS I won't be flying PH-MZW to Texel, instead I will be my brother's passenger in his Pulsar, planning to touch down at EHTX around mid-afternoon. Looking forward to meet many of you! -------- Marcel Zwakenberg (Europa Classic Tri-Gear PH-MZW) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=407157#407157 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:50:45 AM PST US From: Fred Klein Subject: Europa-List: test test... ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 12:57:27 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Panel Paint From: "Europaul383" What paint finish and manufacturer have others found successful? I am thinking mid grey for the main fibreglass and a lighter grey for the aluminium sub-panels (factory-supplied). Anodising turns out brown on this alloy, otherwise I'd have done that. I hear that satin is a good finish (gloss is too reflective and matt gathers dust and greasy fingermarks, so soon looks patchy and ugly - a bit like me...) Obviously I need a UV-resistant paint and Plasti-kote make a good range, their Super being well-recommended. Only problem is they do a light grey satin and a black satin... the only mid grey is gloss or matt. Have others found any problem with black as a main panel colour, or with matt as a finish texture? So, choices.... the best finish (satin) in the "wrong" colour (black) or the best colour (grey) on the "wrong" finish (matt)? Grateful for any answers. Photo of panel so far, if it helps to picture the problem...

Let me add another - heat absorption. Unless you live in Scotland, if you use a very dark color like black, the inside of your panel will get quite toasty. Consider an active ventilation system to protect those fine electrical gadgets! -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=407173#407173 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 02:03:35 PM PST US Subject: Re: Europa-List: Panel Paint From: Donald Cameron Hi I have just recently painted my panel with rust-oleum textured spray paint a nd covered the aluminium sub panels with a carbon fibre wrap.
