I just finished watching the Sam Jones video on Aircraft Painting 101 and

was making notes. There is a part where he talks about painting on graphics

over the base coat using Fine Line tape, but he doesn't say how long to

wait after putting on the base coat to starting on the graphics (ie stripes

and stuff).



How long should you wait before adding color graphics or stripes after

putting on the base coat?



Have a goodun!

The answer is, it depends.......



Since temperature and humidity varies, it will be different depending on

your circumstances.



I've heard horror stories from folks that finished up in the afternoon and

came back the next morning to finish trim.  The tape left visible marks

because the paint wasn't totally cured. 



I personally would wait 24-48 hours depending on weather conditions.

This depends on the paint.   I use Imron 6000 and always wait a day at 77F but your paint will say.

BTW, I used the Sam James Aircraft Painting 101 Video and found it very helpful.  If anyone would like my DVD, the first $15 takes it (shipping included).  (It's $25.95 on Builder's Bookstore).

Robert, are those Bob Debordes wing tips? They look just like the ones I 

have on my RV-6, if they are they are great tips

I like them much better than the ones Van's provides.

Jerry,

Those are the standard Van's wingtips that came in my wing kit in 2002.  I'm not sure when Van's changed them but I noticed that on some -7's recently.
