| 9-10-06 | Finish sanding cecofil. Applied 5 coats of white. Not happy with this paint tries to set up in gun and you cannot keep it in suspension ie: it keeps separating and starts spraying chunky. sanded rough texture this sh** looks like splatter paint. It didn't do good on the wings but I thought it was something I did. I have sprayed Dupont Starthane, Durathane, ChromaOne, ICI's Urethanes and the PPG urethanes and I have never had anything like this. I'll not use Stewart Systems paint again. Their cecofil is fine they just don't have a good paint. Taped off and painted blue. Needs to be redone. | 11.0 hrs | |
