Here's a nice one done in latex. And polished. Could be a lot of work polishing.

Really cool looking plane. I like thjat a lot!
Thanks for the reply. i didn't get a notification there was a reply. :) Yeah, that was my idea also. Sounds hard to get both sides the same. And I have 4 wings. :) :) The paint was done with latex....
First I want to thank everyone who replied to my last post. I learned a lot and saved a lot of time. A couple more questions on paint. I saw several aircraft that were painted with a water based...
Excuse me if I replied to this twice. I'm getting kind of lost here. :) Yeah, I've seen several planes painted with latex and they really look good. I'm a bit leery of that though. There was a...
Sounds about what I want.
After doing a bit more reserch, I find i can paint Imron with a HVLP system but they don't recommend it with PPG Concept or Acrylic urethane. Any thoughts on that?
I looked up some of the colors you suggested and they were exactly what I had in mind.
Going to look up the color suggestions you gave me. Sounds good. Thanks for that.:)
Thanks for the reply. Your absolutely correct about the paint. I painted a Challenger II with 2 part polyfiber urethane and I tore a hole in the bottom of the fuselage. Difficult to repair. Also I...

Hey thanks Sam. I see you are an EAA tech counselor. Cool. I'm in the right forum. :) It will be a bit before I am ready to paint but I'm going to do some test samples on a couple test frames I made....
Yeah, I think Imron has been around a while. I'm going to do some test samples. A lot of people have used it on fabric with great success. My airplane certainly wouldn't be out side a lot when not in...
Thanks but no on the dope. I have been doing research on Imron and most agree it will work. I still need to find out more though. I really don't want the wet glossy look and i think Imron comes also...
Thanks very much for your reply. I have been doing some research on polyurethanes and have used them before on fiberglass sailboats and one seaplane hull. I did some more research on Imron and...
Hi,
My first post I think. I am in the process of building my 4th experimental aircraft and I am having a problem choosing a GOOD paint. The airplane is an older kit called a Seastar. I think there...
