Word of caution. Do not use any spray can paint if using an MEK based paint over.
It'll lift. I believe Aero-thane is MEK based.

After you spray the primer on, using a fast dry spray can of black, fog a
light mist coat over the urethane. This will be a guide coat for sanding.
Sand with 400 grit wet paper until all the black is gone. Jim C

Two coats seemed to fill the weave with the roller and foam brush. Set
epoxy has the hardness of formica and was very hard to sand smooth, but
it's smooth now and the weave is not exposed. You're right, that urethane
primer is very costly. Eric

Dave, Lookin' good! What did you use to apply to resin with? I read the
West System manual and followed their recommendation to spread the resin
initially with a roller (I used 3/16" nap) followed with a 3" foam brush
pulled through the wet resin chordwise to break any bubbles and level the
coat. Worked very well. Only needed 2 coats.
Eric - in Kalamazoo waiting for warmer weather to apply paint primer to
the wings. Can't decide between urethane or epoxy. Maybe I'll do one of
each.

Last evening I put the 1.4oz glass cloth on the top of 1 wing panel.
This morning I put 1 more cote of resin on it and tonight I put the 3rd
cote on. I think it came out real nice. 1st cote used 7oz to adhere the
cloth. 2nd cote used 2oz and cote 1 used about 1.5oz. Dave Conrad

Ken, the idea of the spray can paint is to use it as a sanding guide. It will be
completely sanded off and sealed before top coating. I and many others have
done this for many years with no problems. Jim C.
