Re: Europa-List: Paint Brands Suggentions for composite Aircraft

Jeff, I would recommend gel coat and in particular Swabilec - sprayed and 
then rubbed down to a perfect finish with wet & dry. It is what most racing 
gliders are finished with and they of course look for the ultimate finish on 
their laminar flow surfaces.  Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ.

Dear Europa Gurus,
Any suggestions on what brand of paint product works best for our airframes? 
I have used these products in the past on othe Airplane projects:
My Zenith Zodiac-Akzo Nobel-epoxy primer and 2 part Polyurethane  wished for 
better results
My friend's RV-6-PPG epoxy primer and 2 part Polyurethane- Nice product to 
work with and nice results
My friends Sonex-Stewart Systems Water based 2 Part Polyurethane-A BITCH to 
work with.  Results good after a great deal of fussing/Re-do's.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
