I have posted tons about my painting process, and answered many goodquestions that I would surely forget to include it I tried to go through itall again. Check the Archives on matts site for the info using Latex as thesearch word. I'd be happy to explain anything that comes up as questions.The short of it is that I used plain ol house paint applied with brush,rollers and an airless gun. It came out fine, but not award winning foronly a couple hundred dollars. I would go with a automotive finish orstraight Randolf or Polyfiber product next time to get the gloss for a moremodern airframe, but for the pietenpol that is to look period 30's it isentirely acceptable and looks authentic. It is easy to touch up, does notcrack (if you keep the buildup thin) and is UV and weather proof. Noproblems with gas either.Steve e.-----Original Message-----
