The latest month's issue said there is a big difference between car and airplane paint. Basically it's flexibility. For us glass-plane guys Urethane is the reccomended one. DuPont and PPG are the brands I here the most positive comments about. Building these planes you discover everything is inter-related. It's best to talk with some painters you intend to have shoot your plane and find out what system they like, as you need to begin a great paint job with the right primer and fillers so everything is compatible. I am using DuPont URO-Prime and metal glaze for minor filling. I really like it so far and the painters I have talked to both gave it high marks. PPG two-part epoxy primer is good too as a starting point. Hope this helps, Don Barnes Legacy 198 http://www.lancairlegacy.com
