The aircraft I saw striped certainly could have been enamel over dope, I
will have to ask the previous owner next time I see them.

Happy landings

Is it common to be able to remove paint or dope in
this manner?


The Randolph paint rep to whom I spoke said that it is not unusual for an

enamel
top-coat to peel off of dope this way; in fact, he said I might try using

a
pressure washer on my Maule to see if I could avoid sanding the enamel

off. I've
never seen dope top-coats separate from dope undercoats, but perhaps it's
possible if the undercoat was not prepared properly. I do not know how

well
polyurethane bonds to dope.
