I completely sheeted the wing and covered the entire model with 1/2oz
glass and Z-poxy finishing resin. I covered that with white epoxy primer. I
used Sign Painter's Flourescent paint in Blue, Green, Red, and Chartreuse and
covered that with Del-Glo clear coat. I took out the orange peel with 2000
grit sandpaper and polished it with McGuire's. I used a Moki 150 with a pipe
and smoke. It swings an APC 16x8 at 9600.

I'm not a fan of Poly-urethane. The curing is iffy and the clear is too
yellow.
I used Century 21 stuff on my F4U. Mistake. It sags in the hot car and
cracks appear in cold weather. It takes a heat gun to cure both. Months
later it will take fingerprints after being in the car.
