Dear Europa Gurus, 

Any suggestions on what brand of paint product works best for our airframes?  I have used these products in the past on othe Airplane projects: 

My Zenith Zodiac-Akzo Nobel-epoxy primer and 2 part Polyurethane  wished for better results 

My friend's RV-6-PPG epoxy primer and 2 part Polyurethane- Nice product to work with and nice results 

My friends Sonex-Stewart Systems Water based 2 Part Polyurethane-A BITCH to work with.  Results good after a great deal of fussing/Re-do's. 

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Jeff, I would recommend gel coat and in particular Swabilec - sprayed and 

then rubbed down to a perfect finish with wet & dry. It is what most racing 

gliders are finished with and they of course look for the ultimate finish on 

their laminar flow surfaces.  Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ.

Jeff,

After using K38 (PPG) high build primer and blocking down several times 

I then used Sherwin Williams Geniuses automotive finish. One coat then 

one wet coat and that was it. Looks good. However, If I had to do it 

all over again I would use these...

Mike Loehle will be at Rough River and anyone is interested they can 

sit in on a talk he's giving on his finishes to the Louisville EAA 

chapter.

Regards,



Jeff R.



A258 - N128LJ / Gold Rush  Driving into Rough River Saturday morning 

and spending the night.

Bud... I'll bring the miller light since I'm driving.
