I=C2-am not painting anything for my Pietenpol, I was just c urious if anyone has spray painted an entire aluminum aircraft with latex t ype house paint. I knew others have done so on fabric, wasn't clear if trie d an aluminum...let alone an entire aircraft.=C2- I would imagine the pre p/procedures would be the same whether it be a small panel or a full fusela ge of aluminum. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:44:33 AM PST US From: Steven Dortch Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Spay Latex on Aluminum Michael, just to prove that a horse is never so dead it can't be beaten some more. I painted parts that would see more wear and tear with rattlecan enamel. Less wear, latex. If I were to do it again, I would probably use rattlecans on all metal parts. For ease and durability.

You can see some photos of N282RS here: http://www.zenith.aero/profile/Randy I always thought it was a very nice paint job and he is still flying the airplane on its original paint some 15 years later. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power, 72x36 Culver prop Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=476083#476083 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
