Jack,

There has been a nice series running in EAA Sport Aviation about paint
and prep. 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
