As for painting the interior, just want to let you all know that I painted 

my interior with Zolatone using two different colors and the results were 

quite nice. The tunnel cover, the aft wall and the roof will be a different 

color than the rest.



My plane will be a fairly bare bones transport tool, but the results with 

the paint are really clean and it should be very durable and stain proof. 

Only cloth will be on the seats and the armrests.

Sounds like we need to convice all of our EFIS manufacturers to write a 

software update calculating a "barber pole" for the higher altitude TASs at 

DA.

I'll shot some off from the office tomorrow. I have dial up here at 

home...no other options other than satallite. My best buddy's parents who 

live in a small mountain town outside of Beruit, Lebanon have high speed and 

I can't get it here in the Santa Monica mountains outside of Los Angeles.

John,



Very nice results and much lighter than upholstered panels. A few

questions about the process.



1. What primer did you use under the Zolatone?

2. Did you over coat the Zolatone with clear polyurethane?

3. Have you pre-fitted the cabin top or does that come later?

4. Are you installing a headliner or using Zolatone on the cabin roof?

Thanks,

I used the primer that Aircraft spruce sells, but there is some confusion on 

the directions on the Zolatone web site as far as what primer is used on 

aluminum versus ferious metals.  There are conflicting statements regarding 

aluminum. Mine was a quick build fuselage and it appears that the Shermin 

Williams primer was compartible with the zolatone because the Zolatone 

overspray appears to have adherred quite well. I would test it without a 

primer if you have been using the Sherwin William's product or have a Quick 

build. Go to their web site for more information.



No overcoat is necessary, it will also make any future repairs very easy.



As you can see from the picture I did a real nice job of masking off the 

areas that interact with the cabin top. It will be easy to spot shoot and 

lapse in coverage. The cabin top has not been fitted.



The cabin top will be the same black color as the aft wall and tunnel cover. 

It is cool because it looks like fabric in that it is textured.



Hope it give some people some options to think about.

Go to the Zolatone web site and they tell you to use a Binks 2001, with a 

big tip on it. I don't recal the number because I could not locate one 

easily so I used a gun which shoot ceramic glaze.

John,



Would you please post a picture of the ceramic glaze gun you used? I did

a web search and came up with a huge assortment of different kinds and

sizes.

This stuff has been around for a while and is popular on some of the moldless composites like the Long because of its ability to hide inconsistencies.  Details on spray equipment and prep is here:

Michael,



Thanks for the link. I was hoping there was an alternative to buying a

pressure feed spray gun and pot. Though it would be nice to have one.

For a single use application like this you might want to check Harbor Freight or others el cheapo's.  Surprisingly, several of their guns are quiet good including at least one of their pressure feeds.  Make sure you are getting a big tip though, that's the key.  Zolatone wants something in the .020 size which is quite large.

You're absolutely right, there's no reason to spring for a high quality

setup. Something, with the right nozzle size from Harbor Freight will do

just fine. Thanks for the tip.
