Actually, I was thinking about brushing the Zolotone on.  I'm sure that
it would totally screw up the little splatters of color, but I think
that it would be much easier and I'm not really concerned about how
pretty the gear wells look.  Has anyone tried brushing Zolotone?  The
guy at the paint store seemed to think that brushing it on wouldn't
matter one bit....but I'm wondering if anyone has experience with it.  Also, I was looking in the Aircraft Spruce catalog and they sell
Zolotone.  It states in the blurp that fiberglass does not require
priming.  So, I guess that confirms that question.  Thanks for your
opinions though...I really appreciate them.  Another thing.  My local
paint store quoted me a price of $24.95 per quart of Zolotone.  Aircraft
Spruce sells a gallon for $55.00.  I'd say that ACS has a pretty good
price compared to what I can buy it for here in Spokane.

I had the same problem until I discovered the Zolatone people make a aerosol
powered compact spray gun that used to cost less than $20.  This was much
more compact and easier to get into small spaces.
