Thanks Lane. I appreciate the info. Experience is the best teacher and I appreciate you sharing yours.
Nice to know some of products are available locally. With all the aviation production, etc. going on around town I should have guessed.
I'm really leaning toward the BUSA Planetex process as it appears to be simple. The Poly-Brush product is brushed (not sprayed) on and then coated with automotive primer (or not), then color coated with whatever ...even with Acrylic paint. I like simple. :) I'm not sure what kind of chemical Poly-Brush is but, it appears to be something I could use in my garage with good ventilation and a filter mask.
I think the biggest reason I like the Plantex process is being able to brush the finish on. I can get buy with a rattle can application of primer but, the final coat needs to be brushed. Painting outside isn't an option.
For my first attempt, I'd like to keep it as simple as possible for a better chance for success. I don't intend for the old Cub to be a show plane but, I don't want to be ugly either. The Cub is my practice project before tackling a 1/4 scale WWI bird.
BTW ...I fly with the Ft. Worth Thunderbirds. Do you belong to a local club?
