Gday Dr tim
I just have a question for you. I am just about to paint a scale body made of fibreglass and just wanting to no what auto paint to use ie: enamel, 2k, acrylic or any other type. I will be spraying by gun with a bit of luck.

[Dr.Tim]

If it's a Gasser or Turbine then Laquer is fine but if it's Nitro then go with enamel ... I prefer Laquer as it is easier to work with, drys faster and looks more scale .. (Shine is not to shiney).

Thanks for your reply Tim, Yes it is nitro so i will use enamel. do you still need to clear coat giving must enamels have a shine

[Dr.Tim]

A good Polyurethane Clear is always nice but not nesserary. Make sure to let the paint cure for at least 48 hours before flying .. A good practice is to give it a good waxing after a couple of days to seal it and boost the shine a bit.
