It's been a long time. I am curious if anyone has sprayed latex paint on aluminum, (bar, sheet, other aircraft) and if so how has it held up? I brushed latex paint on my fabric and I know others have sprayed it on their fabric, but I am curious if anyone has sprayed latex paint on aluminum. Sprayed my fuse, wings, tail, and aluminum cowling and turtle decks all the same way, one cross-coat latex primer and a cross-coat of satin latex top coat. Latex does not handle gasoline spills well but otherwise no problems flying for 4 1/2 years. Have posted this photo before, to verify the longevity of latex paint on a test panel covered just like I covered my Piet this panel has been screwed to a fence post since around Summer 2004 at over 7000 ft in Colorado outside 24x7x365 and it is still in great shape, just faded to a slightly lighter shade of yellow. https://photos.google.com/u/1/album/AF1QipM8_9HNXD6heLS_B_jYCsqChgH4GD3HJ6HrqRhZ Rick H -------- Rick Holland NX6819Z Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=477660#477660 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
