I have also seen guys use a solid color for painting their aircraft and then using vinyl graphics and strips instead of painting them on. Are you talking about using vinyl for graphics, or covering the entire plane with one big piece of vinyl? -------- Jon McDonald Building Sonex #1287 Thinking ahead about a Zenith CH 701 :D Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=233563#233563 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:18:29 AM PST US Subject: Zenith701801-List: Re: Zenith701801-List Digest: 4 Msgs - 03/06/09 From: charley zee How about ordering the pre-painted 6061-T6 sheet stock? http://www.rsac.com/site/location.asp?intLocationID=26&intSectionID=19&materialID=3&typeID=4&toggle=on I think it is supplied with paint on one side, so cert stamp should still be visible on the backside. Not sure how much it costs, though, vs. unpainted. I had a trailer manufactured with the stuff - sat outside for 15 years with no sign of corrosion or significant degradation of the paint material. > > Subject: Zenith701801-List: Paint vs Vinyl > > Has anyone had any experience covering their plane with vinyl.- I can't s > eem to think of any reason this would not be a good idea.- Cheap, won't d > etach,-lasts at least 10 to 15 years, many variations in colors and desig > n, light in weight, can remove easily and redo if you become tired of your > design.- Almost seems like cheating.- > Vann Covington, 701 North Carolina.=0A=0A=0A > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith701801-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith701801-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/zenith701801-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith701801-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.
