I am ordering paint for the RV-10. Does anyone that used PPG Deltron 2000 know
the paint quantity required for the base color and clear coat?
Also the quantity of Epoxy Primer needed?
Many Thanks,
Frank

I really can't answer the question because I'm just getting ready to
paint the fuselage. I bought a gallon of Grey primer and a gallon of
white from Sherwin Williams Auto Paint. I can buy more as I need it.
I do not want to do base/clear coat ..... I look at all the cars with
peeling clear coat and think "If the best experienced paint shops can't
paint clear coat without it peeling .... what chance do I have of
getting it right???"

PPG base/clear coat is very high quality and forgiving to the amateur
painter (like me). I did two planes with this and will do the next one the
same. The first plane is now 10 years after painting and still looks like
the day it came out of the paint booth.
For the RV-10, start with a gallon of PPG DP-40LF primer but you will most
likely need another two quarts. Assuming you will do a primary, secondary
and then some accents in another color, start with a gallon of primary
color, two or three quarts of secondary and one quart of the accent color
(get more as needed). You will need two gallons of clear. You will need
about four gallons of PPG reducer (get the right one for the temperature
that you will be painting). Plan on ~$2500 for materials. I am just 4
miles from a PPG distributor. If you have to order and such then get more
to start.
Use PPG Alumi Prep with ScotchBrite pads, one good coat of primer, two coats
of color, two coats of clear. If you are using a tri coat (like a lot of
metallic reds or pearl yellows) do two coats of base, two coats of pearl (or
candy) and then two coats of clear. Follow the times listed with the
product for flash, recoat, tape and top coat exactly.
Paint with the wings, empennage, ailerons, flaps, doors and cowl off. The
RV-10 is so big your arm will get tired so be prepared. Paint the wings
first as they are the easiest so you get the hang of it. Prep, prime, color
and top coat the wings in one weekend, the cowl and doors the next, then
empennage and control surfaces, and the fuselage last (the hardest part as
it is so big and you get to spend a lot of time on your back).
Attached is a homemade air/water separator that did a very nice job for me.
Note the water drain valve. Fill the tub with water and ice.

Thanks for the data Carl!
More questions on the water separator ...... which is air in and out?
Describe the stuff at the bottom of the vertical pipe .... and the drain
valve ... that's hidden by the tub.

Weighed the ACS and it's 52.2# with McCauley 4" hub (same size as Hartzell). Hartzell
support told me their 2 blade is 52#. No difference between the two, weigh-wise.
