Re: Cliff Charlesworth Ka3 from LCS
Hi Tony,
what paint are you using on the Diacov? I am thinking of using Diacov on a 1/5th scale Mucha standard and I need to either match the white of the Diacov to paint the fiberglass fuselage or paint everything.

Re: Cliff Charlesworth Ka3 from LCS
Hi Rob,
I am using spray cans, the one on the left is primer/filler
the one on the right is "signal-white"
The paint is more expensive than car-paint, but at least the
white paint covers better!
procedure: clean diacov with alcohol, spray with primer, sand
gently with 400 paper, spray with paint

Re: Cliff Charlesworth Ka3 from LCS
Tony, 400 grit is a bit coarse for the primer, especially with an air-dry paint: better off with 600 or 800
