Now that Im finished with my tail and having to wait for the rest of the kit to arrive, I thought about painting my tail just to have something to do for a while. I was wondering what some of you have used as far as type and brand of paint, primer etc. Also what do you normally do for items such as N Numbers. Are those painted on or do you use some type of stick on numbers, etc. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I'm painting with System Three Waterborne Polyurethane (WR-LPU) and
waterborne epoxy primer WR-155. From a enviro friendly standpoint
I like it a lot, the Polyurethane is temperamental stuff and takes a lot
of practice (heat, humidity, and gun setup sensitive),but is very tough
when cured. Don't have to worry about keeling over when using it.
From the perspective of what I like best, I used PolyFiber Aerothane in
the past on my Kitfox. I like it a lot better for ease of use, but don't like
the "kills you if not careful" factor.
The system three is 50% the cost of some of the other waterborne
polyurethanes and works out about $90-100 per gallon.
It is used a lot by boat builders, but don't hear much about it from
airplane builders so I think it is a somewhat undiscovered paint system.
Jeff.
