We are located in California and have a local person who can do the painting, but there is a limitation to which paint we can obtain and use here. I would appreciate any opinions of whether it's worth going out of state or if PPG or other is the way to go in California. Appreciate any recommendations for the type of paint for the best and most durable finish. A while back I saw some information on either paint or a coating that is hydrophobic (repels water and other substances). Does anyone have personal experience on their aircraft using such a product. If so, I would appreciate any information about which product, any goods and others about use and cost would be great. Thanks, Denis N750PJ (getting closer to being in the air)
