size=3>I have clear coated a few planes for a friend of mine who uses the
createx stuff. I just used an automotive two pack clear coat. It comes up ok but
is very dependent on the skill of the 'createx' applicator! If it is applied to
dry and the prep work sucks-no amount of clear coat will make it look
good.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=518443201-12122005><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff
size=3>Infact I was blamed for the paint job!!! Nowadays-he takes his planes to
a professional auto shop-and they charge him a packet of money with the same
result. Works for me as its less possible exposure to the nasty
stuff.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=518443201-12122005><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff

applied correctly.His stuff I've seen flake off ( i.e.; prep
work!!!)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=518443201-12122005><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff
size=3>My recommendation is to use the 'clear over base' system and just
minimize the clear as it now no longer serves as a fuel proofing
agent.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV> Nat over the last couple of years I have been playing with Createx
Auto Airs <A
href="http://www.autoaircolors.com/">http://www.autoaircolors.com/</A> they
are water base paints that is used for airbrushing although they do need a
clear coat to bring to a shine. They are extremely light and easy to use they
just look dull as applied. They can be mixed and matched to anything and have
128 colors to choose from, theres a dealer you'll find on there dealer page
called Dixie Art Supply in New Orleans <A
href="http://www.dixieart.com/CreatexAutoAir.html">http://www.dixieart.com/CreatexAutoAir.html</A> I
have only cleared with Lustre Kote which is not recomended by them, but maybe
for the electrics you won't need the clear. Good luck.</DIV>
