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 paint and i think it was a "Stewart" based system? And then some put a 2 part urethane clear coat over that for gloss and protection. Any comments on that? I know I can add a plasticizer and a de-glosser if i want to the clear coat. Also does anyone know how to lay out a checkerboard pattern on a wing similar to this photo? Squares I can do. But I would like an idea on how this could be done.The pattern is kind of wavy. Could be a vinyl print but I don't want o use vinyl. Thanks Chuck B.
