Ep. 49 - Painting the ailerons, flaps and vertical tail!

[@stevesp38]

The tail flash is perfect. Again, you do impeccable work. Can't wait to see the airplane finished. And, in reference to the equipment purchases (paint guns), I am a firm believer in that you get what you pay for. It is also really cool to see what I think are RC airplanes hanging on your wall in the background. I am a fellow RC enthusiast. Thank you for sharing your build videos

That turned out great DJ! Lots of great info in your video, too - as always. I've done quite a bit of airplane painting over the years, about 3 total and some parts and pieces. I've had good success with Prekote, too. Never tried out the Speedokote epoxy primer. I may give that a try. What product are you using for your color? I like those pouring/mixing lids. Haven't tried them before. Where did you find those? Looks like you're using the 3M PPS 2.0 system for your cups. I love that setup. So easy to clean. That paint booth looks great too. I had no idea they were so affordable. I have a 10x20 "portable garage" in my hangar that I hung some lights in. It works pretty well, but I've had it set up for a long time and am currently using it with a portable air conditioner as my work space. It's gonna be hard to get all the dust out when the time comes to get back to painting. Inflatable booth may be a good answer. Curious to see if the lighting is adequate. Anyhow, thanks again for documenting everything. I'm building my left wing now. Your videos have been a big help.

Looks real good! I'd be curious what the weight difference, at the component level, is?

[@txkflier]

Looks great. How much overspray did you get on that truck? 😎

[@Outbound300]

A little! lol! That truck was a quick flip. Sold it 3 days later. 😁

What kind of water separator are you using on the guns? And, are you getting good results?

[@Outbound300]

I’ve got multiple separators. One at the tank, one at the hose reel and one right before the length of hose the gun connects to. The last separator is also a dryer with desiccant. So far no water issues.
