I like your idea. That's a good excuse to eat pudding in the little plastic cups. They make excellent mix cups.. My airbrush was $5.00 also,just thin a little more than normal and spray 1extra thin coat,then when you are cleaning up the A/B with reducer,spray a coat of the tinted reducer on and this gets rid of orange peeling. By the way strain the mixed PPG (paint) through wifey's panty hose before spraying. Better ask her first.

I will go against the world on this one. IF you use PPG Concept, you can do a perfect job with the cheapest Harbor Freight external mix air brush (sometimes on sale for $5). It is slow but it works fine.
Set the air to about 20 pounds. Use throw away plastic butter dishes, cups & such for practice.
Of course, if you need an excuse for a SATA, this is it...

Subject: painting tips needed
I'm looking for advice for painting a composite fuselage. I've already got a 20 gallon, 8.4CFM at 40 PSI compressor with a good quality automotive spray gun. I'm considering getting either an HVLP gun or possibly a Badger airbrush of some type. I have the usual goals in mind for light weight, good glossy finish etc. I'm leaning towards the airbrush only because it seems like I could probably have the best control over laying down a light finish that way. I will most likely use PPG concept paint for the finish.
Another question - the project is a Temptation with fixed stab. Although I'm sure I could do a decent job of transitioning Monokote at the seam where the paint would end, I'm thinking of doing a light glass job on the stab and just painting that as well. I will have an OS 1.60 up front, so it might not hurt to add a little more weight back there through painting. For an area as small as the stab, this seems reasonable. Is this a bad idea or not?
Thanks
Ed
