I'll vouch for John's paint job. I saw his plan at Sun-n-fun this year. He
said it was his first attempt at spray painting. If this is his first, I
can't imagine what it would look like if he gets really good!!!!
Looks like a pro did it.

Aerothane. All of these are Polyfiber products. I have nothing but good news
to report. My bird has 300+ hours TT and has been through rain and plenty of
sun. The finish and gloss are excellent and the total package has proved to
be very durable.

since it is the first spray job I have done. As usual, by the time I was
finished I was getting fairly good.
