My son suggested I try using a spray on rubberized finish on the fiberglass parts. There is a product that is quite popular in the car world for finishing wheels and entire cars called Plasti-dip. Its the aerosal verson of the stuff we used to dip plier handles in to make them non slip. I was concerned the black would be too dull end up with a matte black finish. It actually turned out quite well on the two test areas I did. The canopy skirt and windscreen skirt were primed grey. I applied the spray in 4 light coats at 30 minute intervals. The results are quite satisfactory. Time will tell if this finish holds up. I have oredered up a gallon of the black dip paint, a gallon of naptha thinner and a Earlex HVLP sprayer. The plan is to try painting the wing tips and then see how the larger pieces turn out. I am going to a before and after weigh-in to see how much this finish adds to the aircraft. Don’t expect much of a gain, we’ll see. The other cool thing about this finish is the ablity to peel it off and not leave a residual behind if you want to change color or finish paint the whole aircraft. The real test will be 200 mph airflow with rain. It takes a pressure washer on the U-Tube videos, but you can’t trust everything you see on the internet you know…….
