I flew my plane for almost a year in primer. At that time I was staying close to home and didn't have to leave it parked outside in the sun. Just before Arlington 2000 I pushed it outside, blasted it white, and pushed it back in the hangar to dry. It looks good in the photos, but it is not a perfect paint job by far if you see it up close. Also, no one notices, but the bottom of my wings and canard are still gray primer! Maybe someday I'll have it repainted professionally (not a high priority). -- Perry Mick http://www.ductedfan.com
