Gerry,
It may be a better idea to contact the Europa factory
regarding advice of silver instead of white

Subject: smooth prime
I support Tony K re. Smooth Prime. I have Flaps,
Ailerons, Tailplanes
and Rudder painted to final coat on top of Smooth Prime
---From about a 18
months ago. Although they haven't been flown, they have
been fitted and
setup and generally 'man handled' during those
operations. No problems
with paint flaking is apparent. The rest of the
Aircraft is finished to
Primer stage in Smooth Prime including Wings and
Fuselage and it
appears a durable product. It certainly is a b%
er to
remove from
Workshop floor or places it isn't meant to be!
Painting so far has been done by a professional
Aircraft Finisher and
the results are very good. A non Polyfiber Paint was
used.
While we are on Paint can I 'swerve' towards final
colours. Anyone got
any arguments' for' or 'against' for using a light
silver colour as
final coat for Fuselage. As a colour it doesn't seem to
far from the
heat spectrum of 'white'.
Gentle advice please!
Regards
Gerry
