I'm sure it ends up requiring a lot of hours of work to do all of those steps for an entire airplane, but then again if you paint as you build (tail, fuselage, wings), it spreads the work out somewhat. Also, many Piet builders go for less of a shine and polish since the early Air Campers were built for simple and low-cost building and flying. A little bit of orange peel and a little less shine would be perfectly acceptable if you were flying your Piet off a grass pasture down on the farm and there were no judges looking at the paint job. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=436295#436295 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:56:56 PM PST US From: gliderx5@comcast.net Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Latex Paint Rolling Video Oscar You are quite correct on all counts. The process is not especially hard, but applying to an entire airplane does require a bit of time and elbow grease. Of course, it pales in comparison to how long it takes to build an entire airplane. I didn't say it on the last video but I have on some of the others, that the painted finish before sanding and polishing looks just fine as it is for some applications, vintage aircraft like Piets included. As you know, un-polished latex has been used on several Piets in the past and they look great. The hi-gloss, wet look would be truly out of place on such aircraft. That's great news for those looking for a flat or semi-gloss look. In fact, brush strokes in the paint might even be appropriate to give it more of an antique look. Either way, latex is simple and low cost, whether polished or not. I think I may have been a crow in a past life, I'm irresistibly attracted to shinny things!

It is absolutely beautiful! It looks very Period like, not at all glossy. There are pictures on Westcoast Pietenpol. I'm going to follow his lead and go Stewart's cover ing then right to latex, no EkoFill. I also plan on using some clear coats o f latex so it really looks semi transparent like the old planes.
