Finally have gathered all of my supplies and started to interior paint. I started with the forward section of the fuselage. Decided to use Plasti-kote Gotham Stone Grey and a contrasting color which is very similar to the powder coat color that Van's uses. Went to the local Sherwin Williams auto paint store and they matched the color exactly. Mixed it and put in into spray cans!! I really did not know they could do that. Can send you the formula if you want. Had them add a bit of something to make it a bit more flat. Scotchbrited the skins, cleaned them with acetone and then applied the Marhyde primer. Let it dry for about 4-6 hours. Then used the Gotham Stone Grey. It went on very nice with fast strokes. Trial paint a piece with this stuff. You have to be 16" away and move rather fast. Will clear coat the stone finish, with the recommended clear coat the next day as it is water soluble. Completed the day by painting the interior of the left and right turtle deck skin with the powder coat color. This acrylic enamel should not require a clear coat.
Now I know.....90% of the work is in the masking!
