Haha, I actually did it properly with automotive paint and clear coats n stuff. I've got a friend who is a master carpenter and he has a paint booth, so he got me all set up and essentially did it all for me. :D

Good question! I don't think the rest of the fuselage will fit in his paint booth. Would be sweet to get it all black someday though 8)

Re: New paint!

After your last Death Defying video of you landing on a postage stamp, I expected something absolutely outrageous and completely off the wall from you with regards to a custom paint job.

This is rather disappointing and completely unacceptable.

Get more paint and please report back.

Re: New paint!

As the former owner, I've decided that Choss is crossing the line here. Very safety minded, I painted that cowl safety green. My buddy called it puke green, though. Bastard.

Now Choss has gone all stealthy on us. I bet his next post will be doors off and guns blazing, chasing drones or something. Oh wait a minute, the drones can out run it. I guess that's why the stealth paint.

Actually the first paint job came about after I drove my pickup over the cowl. Fortunately, the airplane wasn't in it when that happened.

Meanwhile, keep up the trip reports. I love seeing the little bird in good hands and having lots of adventures.
