11th November 2013 - Painting, painting, painting...

Despite the lack of posts I have been working over the last few weeks. The left wing has been completely painted and once fully hardened wrapped in bubble wrap and transported to my friend Paul's house for storage. The doors have been finished inside and out. Also, all the flying surfaces have now been finished to a good standard.
The learning points from doing this are interesting, First, the EkoPoly has a very definite shelf life. Trying to use it beyond this is doomed to failure! The newer EkoPoly Premium paint is much easier to apply without runs.
I'm painting in Insignia white, it is hard to get a full colour coverage over the grey EkoFill or charcoal grey EkoPrime. However, a thin coat of the smoke grey EkoPrime makes it much easier to get an even, high gloss, white finish.
