sandpaper with the loehle system . it takes reams of wet sandpaper with the old butyrate dope finish ... have to buy stock in 3m the loehle system is so much easier and quicker . jim y. kw 909 first i would like to thank you mike and carl for the great class we had . i learned quite a bit from mike s experience . joe h. 5151 mustang i continue to get nice comments on the finish job even after i succeeded in making just about every rookie mistake you can make with a paint gun . this is a quality paint system and the work is greatly reduced by using the reduced number of spray coats . one thing you need to remind builders about is that each spray coat you have to apply increases the odds of making painting mistakes that are costly in terms of time and expense . go with the least number of coats that will yield a good finish and you will be a happy builder . i am helping a fellow builder on his covering and painting a full scale nieuport 17 and he elected to use another system . after 8 coats he is kicking himself because it doesn t look as good as the mustang did even before i applied the clear coat . someone talked him into the other product because he was afraid of the polyurethane even after he came over while i was shooting the last bit of color coat . he has also discovered the joy of shooting thinner paints in terms of runs that i warned him about . i d take a bet that if he ever has to recover or builds another he ll give you a call . thanks for all your help and patience with the million questions . pete p. 5151 mustang i have so few pinholes it s unbelievable in an airplane this size i promise you there s not a man within 500 miles that can make it look like it looks now . i think it looks good and i m picky . i m happy . mike k. glastar with good lighting in the booth you can do about anything with the clear . but even if you get a run you can take it out easily . jim y. kw 909 i am trying to decide on the covering system and must admit that i am really impressed by your system . i am also impressed by your willingness to supply information and advice . i have not received nearly as much from any other supplier i have contacted . stan t. rans s 7s you all did a great job on my plane . i m glad to send others your way when i can . i have a patient who is rebuilding
