Jim made one comment that IMHO should NOT be attempted.

  >If you're really a perfectionist, you might want to fly for a while with=
 the as-shot paint finish, zits and orange peel and all  (What? You don't g=

onths.


I did most of my post spray wet sand and buffing on all the parts in the fi=
rst couple days.  I then took my plane to the airport and flew it 10 days l=
ater.  Thereafter I began sanding the small remainder of the clear that was=
 ugly (ok, ok, a lot more of the fuselage).  Just about three weeks after I=
 shot the clear, it was HARD AS MARBLE!  I had to cut it with 800 Grit as c=
ompared to 1200 or 1500 the day after I sprayed.  Believe me, if you are sh=
ooting PPG you=E2=80=99ll be a happier soul if you clean up those clear mis=
takes quickly after shooting.  I expect that I would=E2=80=99ve needed 80 G=
rit had I waited 6 months J

What=E2=80=99s the big deal with a little fabric weave anyway?  It just rem=
inds the crowd that you do not run with the Rivet Buckets.

I made numerous mistakes while building my plane.  Please don=E2=80=99t let=
 sanding really hard clear coat in the San Joaquin Valley Sun be one of you=
