![]() | The final coat of UV silverspray before the topcoat. I still don't understand where all the bits of dust come from... |
![]() | Under all this blue paint is a stencil. I went to my local signwriters and got him to produce a vinyl cut stencil for my registration letters. Details of sizes are outlined in CAP 523 available here. The wing stencil is eight feet long - more later. I used plastic sheeting for masking around the stencil. Here, the fuselage has been painted with silver top coat, very similar to the UV polyspray, just a bit shinier. I used some retarder and waited for the temperature to drop before spraying - this should produce a glossier finish. |
