Well, I went back and re-read the info from John (down near the bottom, at http://www.westcoastpiet.com/steve_eldridge.htm ) and it actually says that he used the Fisher method, which involves black latex house paint as the primer, weave filler, and UV protection, and then applied automotive enamel over that. So I was only partially correct in what I said.
On a completely different subject, I just noticed that Mike Cuy's Piet has brass
leading edges on the prop. Hmmm... I don't remember seeing that in the construction
videos. I sure like that look on a prop for these airplanes.
