ReplyTo: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.comSubject: Pietenpol-List: spraying latexAnyone thinking of doing a latex paint = job=85My new paint scheme is going to be a =93faux = clear-doped linen look=94 with atrim color edging and nose. The ceconite = will be sprayed with a tintedclear dope, but the trim color (a weird british = green) is proving veryhard to match in dope, so I started looking at = latex.I just purchased a new hvlp gun for work and just = finished some sprayexperiments with latex and I gotta tell you, anybody out = there preparingto do a latex paint job should really consider spraying. = I simply amamazed at how nice the test panels came out. The semi gloss I used = reallymimics dope, or one could easily spray a clear coat of dope on top and = itwould be difficult to tell the difference. Now I just take my paint chip to Home Depot, have = them put it under thespectrometer, then hit the auto paint shop for the matching = enamel for thesheet metal and we=92re good to = go!Secret seems to be diluting with windshield washer = fluid for good sprayingqualities (smaller atomization) and floetrol for better = flowing qualitiesonce the paint is on the surface. Mixed solution I used = took about 25seconds to exit a standard viscosity cup. Seemed almost = impossible to geta run on a vertical surface too, which was kinda = neat.Douwe3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D~=B2=03________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: PHL May 2-6

Some of you may remember our friend Sterling, who came up with theconcept of the TACOs (Texas Air Camper Organization). He has developedmelanoma and recent tests have indicated that it's going to progressunabated, so he's preparing to get his things in order so as not to leavehis wife with a bunch of guy stuff to figure out and dispose of when he goes.Here's the email straight from his keyboard, and he is not one to pullpunches or fool around and neither am I, so here's the deal:=====================This is the link to the video I just uploaded to my YouTube account. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwbx3Q8cv7cThe video is really lousy and not typical of my work, but I amin a rush to get a lot of things done before my surgery on 4-27. I hope to get my auction on Ebay late this weekend.I very much appreciate your helping me get word out on this. Life hasgotten very complicated in the last few weeks and I have so much to doas I prepare for the big change that is about to happen. I'm in a"Muy Pronto" mindset!If you will be so kind to suggest that I'm selling this due to health reasonsand also mention I might not be able to answer questions off of my YouTubeaccount or through Ebay due to the surgery and treatment after. However I'lldo my best to answer if I can. The surgeon mentioned after surgery the needto stay at home and out of dusty areas because of the risk of infection(and maybe falling on my fat bohunkus). I'm planning of putting the A-80 engine on a separate auction soon. It willcome with an aluminum prop... forgot what brand it is, but it is in storagein my barn. Also, my Cessna 150/150 will be for sale soon. Not sure if I'llput that on Barnstormers or where.I do encourage "pre-bid" inspections and I would do my best to accommodateanyone who would like to see this in person, at the airport in Ballinger, Texas(Bruce Field, E30)Not shown in my video are plexiglass windshields for the passenger and pilot.I have these as they were cut by the original builder. I also have the horizontalstabilizer I forgot to show in the video.Thanks again so much for helping "communicate" this. I am just way out of theloop with people these days.Sterling===================Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"San Antonio, TXwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: PHL May 2-6

Matthew,Let me help! Here is a picture of Jim properly pestering a Piet builder (Me!). What you see in the picture is a guy who just appears happy....but that big grin was just after he said, "If you want me to get out of your cockpit, you'll have to bribe me with food and beer."Well, my wife is a good cook, and I think the lasagna would have done it, but the beer is really what got him out! Do try to properly pester while on your Piet visits.Gary Boothe-----Original Message-----

Jim,You're not helping to dispel those nasty rumors about things disappearing whenyou visit. The appropriate word is bring, not take. :)Jim wrote: > ... Be sure to take a camera... > Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
