Hi harry,
My father and i built a sonex waiex and painted with stewart systems . very hard durable finish. But dont kid yourself,
painting is lots of work. We built a paint booth, got space suits, goggles, resperators. Completely cover your body.
We had a fan with filter to keep room clear. You have to have a scale to measure A & B. Add water AFTER A& B are thourghly mixed, otherwise you will get fisheyes.
I have a cruzer half built and a 701 restoring. Doing vinyl wrap. For me thats the way to go. Start /stop when you want, no temp control worry, no fumes/overspray, no mess, no cleanup. Very easy learning curve. I get my vinyl from Rvinyl a company in new york. Prompt , shipping in cardboard tubes. 3M 1080 or 2080. www.Rvinyl.com
good luck on your finishing!
