To comment on Jet Glo and Waynes comment on waxing.... I used it and am ver

e plane often, this is not the paint for you.- Apparently it's fairly har
d, and does not like to be waxed often.... "works for me"!=0ADon McDonald

Congrats Carl!
I found painting as satisfying as building - didn't expect that but
shouldn't have been surprised.
Not only is the paint the first thing people see, but it's also often
the first reaction, as in, "You built this yourself! Really? You mean
like the paint too?" Being able to say 'yes' is nice.
But it is challenging, toxic work. A good $12k paint job is worth the
price.
It also gives me some insight into how Maule was able to offer a new
1995 MX7-180a for $59k.. it certainly didn't go into the paint job.
Anyway, modern polyurethane coating systems are as highly evolved as
modern avionics. Applied well, they are a wonder.

Just as a thought, I painted my own plane. It's short term, but I did it for
a few reasons. no worries about exposed aluminum and fiberglass when flying.
Priming absorbs and actually is worse than nothing at all and lastly I knew
if I opted for a 8K paint job I would be upset during the fly off.
My point! no regrets with the scratches all over the plane from the cowling,
seems things shifted in flight and I need to make some fiberglass fixes and
I expect I will continue to do so for another few months, dont spend all
that money on a new paint job until after all the fly off has been done,
once all fixes and cosmetic adjustments are made than get it painted right.
I know Tim did it himself and it looks great, mine works for what I
intended, protect the plane from the weather. So I'm with you Wayne "mine is
not a show plane and the savings is equal to an 8000 nm trip for the
family." in other words please dont point out that spot I missed at the
next flyin ;-)
I plan to repaint my plane in the future.

It's about 36" x 108" and the Yamaha XT-225 fits perfectly. It also fits bicycles,
skis, 2x4's, model airplanes, surf boards, golf clubs, deer, ladders, etc.
