Nice finish Paul,

I have issues sometimes with it not loading, but suspect it is a network issue where the PC is. No problems from my home PC though.

Cheers boys. These turned up today *cue little dance*

[hrtpaul]

1 more coat of white primer then a light sand and possibly clear coat tomorrow

[hrtpaul]

Last coat of primer just after painting. I'll give it a few days to harden up then sand it Thursday hopefully

[hrtpaul]

Well it got sanded today with 4000 grit micro mesh so now it's reasonbly shiny. A question for you airliner nerds out there. Do I gloss coat the white now then paint the wings and horizontal stabs Boeing grey or wings etc grey first then gloss the white? Cheers

[RayS]

I'd gloss now, mask the fuselage and do the wings, corogard, leading edges, etc

[hrtpaul]

Ta mate

I brushed on a coat of Pledge One Go over the 4000 grit sanded primer and WOW. I'm bloody impressed with the shine. Check out the reflection on the vertical stab. I've gotta sand out a bit of dust and then I'll wack a second coat on. Not bad for a "second rate" clear coat

It's looking very nice and glossy.

Yes very impressive - talk about "mirror finish"!
