It's an Acrylic Urethane applied over DP50LF Epoxy primer. And your right about Niceville, never thought I'd end up here but it was a great place to raise kids and retire.

Greg,

Is that PPG an epoxy paint or primer? I used to live in Niceville when I was a charter member of the 1st SOW...good place to be!!

I just finished painting the floor and side panels with Shopline (PPG) and can't tell the difference from powder coat. The color was #34615 #4 Medium Gray. All my painting experience is with PPG so I stayed with what I know and have reducers for. A quart was $60 with hardener but I only used a quarter of that.

Glen,

I've had that happen with rattle cans. In my experience it was because the paint had set on the shelf too long.

Mike,
I'll order a couple of cans and give them a try. I'm working on the spars, and I'd like to put a thin mist coat on the pieces. I can't do that with the Moeller chromate, the way it spits and splatters out of the can. All 4 cans I've used did the same thing, from beginning to end of the can.

Zinc Chromate Primer in rattle can:

http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/c ... ckkey=7822

Part #: 09-00901 is yellow. Part #: 09-00895 is green. $12.75

When finished spraying hold the can upside down and clear out the tube, and wipe off the spray nozzle. Store the cans upside down at room temperature. I've been working out of the same can for over a year with no issues.
