The wings would have to be almost 20 yards themselves (or itself, if you'rea purist) Another ten for the fuselage (always a lot of waste). A few forthe tail surfaces. It can't be far below 40 yards, can it?----------

NO. Use Poly-fibre ( the old Stits) get it at AS&S or other places. Youwont be sorry. I've seen people use house paint, but it just can't take thesun, or most important, the fabric flexing. Did my first project for lessthan $400.00, and it handles great.walt evans-----Original Message-----

Steve,My first project was a Fisher 404, which I'm flying now. I too took mythinking toward house paint or car paint, but if you look at the facts,there just is no comparison.First the price ...the first two steps are poly brush ( about $50.00 a gal),and Poly spray ( silver) about $50.00 a gal) and lastly the color coat,which is Poly Tone. ( about $50.00 to $70.00 for all colors except thereds) and about $100.00 for the red based colors.havn't covered the Piet yet , so I can just talk about the Fisher. Greenbody with "white" wings...for the whole plane was..2 gal poly brush @ $50.40$100.80 (new prices)1 gal poly spray @ $49.60$49.60 "1 gal poly tone "white" for wings and tail surfaces @ $38.00 = $38.002 qts. poly tone green for body @ $19.20 $19.20 2 gal reducer $ 28.30$56.60 total $264.20this doesn't include MEK, tapes , rib stitching,brushes etc. I built and fly my Fisher as a U/L so I used 1.8oz fabric and a minimum ofcoats ( 3 poly brush,3 poly spray, and 3 poly tone) these coats can be doneat about 20 min. intervals, and It's a dream to work with.Just remember, because Poly fiber isn't actually a paint, each coat that youput on, actually "melts" and becomes part of the last layer.And...it's flexible and wont crack due to fabric flexingAnd...no mater how old the poly fiber is you can clean it and apply moreright over it.And...if you use house paint ( and how often do you have to repaint ahouse?) You'll have to recover the plane. You'll never be sorry if you use Poly Fiberwalt evans-----Original Message-----
