The gray paint is a light "dusting" of gray primer and a light "dusting" of speckeled paint....I say "dusting" because if you just used the speckeled paint you are going to have one heck of a heavy airplane.....It only added 2 oz. to the plane the way we did it....I don't want to know how much it would add if you just sprayed the speckeled paint on.....John could help you out with the tricks...

That is one sweet looking Extra 300 though. I'd like to do one with the 157 as well. Did you leave the intake trumpet on it as well?

However getting back ... to the issue at hand. Thks to plane wrapers.com, we're able to keep these birds alive, and not melting. I don't know if folks realize this, today at the stuart field.. the ambient temps were 95 to 98.. my car showing 102... it was blistering. With yourplane- covers you can save your equipement... I know for a fact.. that the lion' and lipos...shorten there lifespan signicantly with temps over 160... now try temp'ing the inside of your plane with zero sun protection... yeah that's right.. you'll be shocked!!!WE WERE! Thks again for your fanastastic covers.. they really work, also the american flag cover style.. is just killer!!! Don
