I've started painting using a HVLP 3M/Accuspray gun and Axis turbine to shoot an Imron Elite Polyurethane single stage. It's going well so far. The ailerons and flaps are painted. For those of you that have painted, how many gallons did you use (or would use if painting the entire aircraft in 1 color)? If I were to do it all in one color, I'd roughly estimate 3.5 to 4 gallons at the rate I'm going. Seems like a lot. Lohle's estimate was 2 gallons of white but that is a different system. The Imron tech sheet recoomends 1.8 to 2.2 mils. Unfortunately there's no where to measure my paint thickness on the ailerons and flaps. I know I shot a an access panel at 3.0 mils but I was trying to go extra heavy on it as a test. So I know I'm doing less that 3.0 mils but probably more than 2.2 on the rest of the job so far.
