Without knowing the design, type of paint and finish, ( not feeling the stripes, stripes over clear ) its difficult to price.
For a quote please give me a call.

As far as accellerator I was mainly referring to use in the Imron products.
Accellerator gives the painter a way of manipulating the paint by interacting
with the hardner along with slower and faster reducers achieve a nice wet look in vearying conditions, somedays hot-cold,large surfaces-small ect.
With that said accellerator in a non hardened base would not be recommended
such as chromabase as far as I know.

I would like to start out with the types of paint singal stage or base coat clear coat
I will start out with singal stage there are polyurethanes,enamel urethanes,acrylic urethanes and probably worst kinds
As far as I am concerned polyurethanes are the best
Base coat clear coat
there two types the automotive type or the industrial- commercial type
the automotive the base coat has no hardner if you chip your clear coat there is no protection oil, thinner or mother nature can easily get in between surface and clear base coat can easily wipe off with mild thinner or detergent may be easiest to apply possibly harder to repair due to crinkling for novice cheaper singal stage paint can have same crinkling problems
If you suffer from this problem use faster thinner use light coats, heat surface
industrial base coat has hardner- best
clear coat for b/c -As far as I am concerned polyurethanes are the best
Dupont line ranking
nason- economy automotive
chromabase-top of the line automtive
imron 3.5-industrial high voc singal stage
imron 5.0-industrial low voc singal stage
imron 3000 or 5000-industrial singal stage never used
imron 6000-industrial b/c very nice
imron aviation finishes singal stage af3500 and af400 for riveted
imron aviation finishes b/c af700 base and af740 clear
top fill primers uro 1140s may be discontinued
af uro 135202
I prefer imron or imron aviation finishes it has done well for me
follow the instructions use accelerator where allowed if orange peel reduce more
Sand everywhere use a good preclean r&m 900? or klean strip
Make sure your air compressor can keep psi for length of time you will be spraying use a hvlp gun
Be leary of paint shops using generic hardners you cant tell for a few years
Hope this helps

I would suggest using Uro - 13520S for a surfacer primer. Easily sanded, fills nicely, easy to work with. For an epoxy primer for flight I would suggest Corlar - 13560S, which comes in white. Both of which are Dupont and skydrol resistant.

Hello everyone,
I've been painting planes for many years now, and have a custom shop located in Lake City, Fl. I enjoy painting composites, and I use the new Dupont Aviation finishes. I am certified in PPG as well and also have paint jobs out there from over 8 years ago using Imron - and they still look as good as the day I painted them. If I can be of help to anyone, please send me an email and I'll be happy to offer what advice I can.
