Getting a "Pro" to shoot the last stages of a PU refinish is an
excellent idea BUT be 100% sure your "Pro" has experience painting large objects. Most bodyshops paint small objects like quarter panels and hoods. Painting something as large as a wing or as convoluted as a fuselage is a whole different animal. Keeping a "wet edge" to the paint is an art on such objects. How do I know? We contracted out an AS-K21 wing Imron (isocyanate catalyzed) paint job to the local high quality body guy with his world- class spray booth and equipment and got back a finish that we had to sand completely off and redo. I shot it the second time with inadequate breathing gear and got a great finish and felt like crap for 2 weeks. Ah, the good old days! |
