Subject: Painting Lnc2

Folks,

I am pondering paint options for my lnc2. I would be grateful for any pointe=
rs from those of you who have been there.  Below I have listed what I am thi=
nking along with some questions. I want to achieve professional results on a=
 reasonable budget

I will do the work myself
I will disassemble the plane before paint
I plan to use polyurethane for durability and uv protection - is this the op=
timum choice for weight and finish quality?
I will erect a force air filtered booth in my garage=20
I will use an enclosed breathing apparatus=20
I will use a HVLP system.  Considering the Fuji mini mite 3 - has anyone any=
 experience/recommendation on this?
I already have epoxy primer on the airframe which has yet to be sanded using=
 220 grit - Primer is WLS Coatings
I will degrease before sanding=20
I will paint at 70 degrees fahrenheit or better in low humidity
I want to paint a bright metallic silver throughout but I am concerned this w=
ill "shield" my internal nav/comm/gps antennae - any recommendations?
I found the folks at Products Techniques Inc (PTI) to be very helpful regard=
ing the technical details of their paint products.  Because of their excelle=
nt customer support I am very much inclined to go with them.  They will mix w=
hatever paint code I would like! - has anybody had any experience with their=

anufacturer

Again, any guidance from you folks would be appreciated=20
