I do paint rowing boats (that’s my job) And I have to say your learning curve is really impressive... I learned everything by my own and I had a lot of mistakes when I started 😅 I don’t understand how your primer can go through a 1.4 nozzle... I use typically a 1.8 or 2.0... You do wet on wet primer ? Maybe try a surfacing primer... so you get a smooth (and aero) surface after sanding, then go for a wet on wet primer...
Hi Another great video, picking up some great tips so much so I have ordered a Cruzer its arriving early January 2019 and will be the first kit in the UK 🇬🇧 I will order a sticker for my tool box.
Hello Bart, you say you are proud and with every right! It look so nice and as said before in the comment of the previous video you make a perfect plane that is so nice to look at it. I"am also very happy that the monster of frustration not have any succes and you can enjoy your work completely. Carry on and thanks sharing this. Bye bye
@@KitplaneEnthusiast Hello Mark, Sorry for calling you the wrong name. I'am for sure you collect the most compliments at Oshkosh. I'am surprised you talk about 9 mounts. With your high standards and knowing then engine and electronics with the complete wiring must be done there is a hell of a job still waiting for you. Take care and all the succes of the word I wish you. Bye bye
THUMBS UP for sure from my seat !... Dry air and lots of reducer worked for me, the longer that paint has to flow out the better.............Thanks for the Video,
Just found your videos and they are giving me some great ideas how to paint my plane- I'm building a Savannah S so not so different. Have you done a video showing the jig or how you painted the wings or did you paint them lying down on a bench or the floor?
Quick question… How many coats of primer are you using? And did you wait a period of time in between coats. The same question for the Nason main paint. Also…. Did you use a clear coat after the main color? Currently trying to develop a plan for my C172 Thank you for your content and time.
Mind your temperatures when you begin to paint. Cooler temperatures are a no-no when it comes to shooting paint. Also, if you are using your home compressor, make sure you are using an inline de-oiler to remove any oil contaminants from the air supply. The de-oiler and an inline air dryer will go a long way to improving your finish. Gun distance to the work surface is important, per AC 43.13, any where between 9-14 inches depending paint viscosity, gun pressure is important depending on the paint viscosity. Looks great, quit being so damn hard on yourself, you could be paying $25000 for a paint job, just saying!
So... you waited until your technique was better, then painted. Makes sense. But - WHAT DID YOU LEARN that made your results better? Viewers want to know! Thanks.
I'm waiting for the first time it gets washed. If the paint falls off it's because you didn't etch the surface prior to priming. You don't need Alodine, but you need to etch the surface of aluminum. No matter what it says on the can of miracle primer.
Great video. Just found your channel, enjoying your videos. Did you ever figure out what caused the paint to not adhere to you aileron from you last video? Thanks for all the info in the videos.
@@KitplaneEnthusiast wish I had seen this reply 1st. I chose to follow the bulletin. I didn't and still don't like the skin overlap. I added Cortec, but I believe it's a temporary thing. I don't want to be slowed down on the build by this, so I will probably build another stab in the future ,once this bird is flying. Btw , I have enjoyed your videos immensely. Thank you for the extra effort you put out to help others that are building. . My build is at Facebook. Texxas 750 Cruzer. If you get a chance t mobile ke a peak. I'm open to advice from more advanced pilots/builders such as yourself .
Your results are very good. Thanks for sharing.

Truly appreciate your meticulous attention to detail. Awesome working and straight forward amazing videos.
Thank you for sharing. Great video.
Beautiful work! The shine is just amazing. I can't wait to see it all put together. Nice explanation too. Great work as always, Mark.

Dell done & excellent advice! Thanks! Did you scratch build ir bought a kit? Which tool do you recomend to cut metal sheet?
I am curious why you didn’t use the same brand for primer as for the color paint?
Quick question…
How many coats of primer are you using? And did you wait a period of time in between coats. The same question for the Nason main paint. Also…. Did you use a clear coat after the main color? Currently trying to develop a plan for my C172 Thank you for your content and time.
I used two coats of primer with about 15 minutes between coats. Same with the paint.
Mind your temperatures when you begin to paint. Cooler temperatures are a no-no when it comes to shooting paint. Also, if you are using your home compressor, make sure you are using an inline de-oiler to remove any oil contaminants from the air supply.

No you don't, no matter what some keyboard warrior sitting in his mom's basement says....
Question: what is your mix ratio when you add reducer in your primer or paint?
Great video. Just found your channel, enjoying your videos. Did you ever figure out what caused the paint to not adhere to you aileron from you last video? Thanks for all the info in the videos.
@@KitplaneEnthusiast awesome glad its working out. Happy building.
(3M) process to buff out orange peel, and where can I order that stuff?
I ordered it from Amazon.com

what type/brand of paint do you use?
This is DuPont Nason.
Are you going to do the Horizontal stab bulletin repair before painting it?
