    Well it has been a perfect day. Nothing better than getting to spend time with your new born granddaughter. Of course I did get more painting done as well. After a quick bite from Taco Bell on the way home from my daughters house, I got the cowl masked off and ready for the red inlay. The red...

    I figured while I am waiting for the white to dry on the canopy, now would be a good time to start masking the cowl for more color. The white on the cowl has cured nicely and according to instructions on the can, it is plenty dry enough to do some handling. I am going to shoot the Flame Red...

    And the white trim is shot. Next will be Purple. But I'll have to wait for a while to give the white time to cure.

    Oh goody goody goody. Time to see if I can mess the canopy up too. Lol First the protective cover and masking. Now a little primer action. Next, I will attempt the white. I've decided to two tone the canopy to match the fuse to match the full scale Pitts. I sure hope it turns out good...

    I think I got a pretty good match. Now let's just hope the rest of the painting process goes good.

    That would be a big no! The white paint came out at such a blistering glob of goo, scattered from hell to breakfast. In essence the volume too spattered to go where it should and so uncontrollable for spray volume that I really feel the paint was the biggest culprit. I do feel the nozzle was...

    Some very good news guys. I just tested the spray pattern of the Purple and Red paint on the paint test cards. Perfect spray pattern and perfect flow. YES!!! I think we are in business. As you can see on the test paint cards, the color is pretty darned close. This was only three "VERY" fast...

    Thank you David. I appreciate your concern. It was just a hellofa mess to clean up, but I got it handled. I may have experienced a few setbacks along the way with this project. However, I am stubborn, bull headed and tenacious as all get out. I refuse to let it beat me. That plane "WILL" fly...

    Okie dokie.... so here is my story and I am sticking to it. The photos I posted earlier were of the WingsWestRC White paint that was "supposed" to (1) spray very nicely, (2) match the Ultracote White covering and (3) when dried should give a smooth finish. None of the above happened. First, the...

    Just a small nibble to keep your taste buds tantilized. I will post more photos later. I will also give a run down of my process to get to this point. But for now, back to painting. Throw that remote out the window and stay tuned. More to come.

    Ok Gents....The cowl work turned out absolutely flawlessly perfect. Starting masking off to shoot the white first as it should be the easiest to do. Update and photos coming very soon.

    You guys are hilarious. Lol Very nicely done. I honestly don't think I'll have too much of an issue with the vents. I definitely will be painting the white first, then the red and finally the purple. As for the stripe? Still undecided yet. Going to address the painting this weekend. Keeping my...
