Default New Sceadu Canopy

This time I tried to paint one myself, it's nothing fancy but I think it came out alright. Now it's ready for clear coating.

It will be going on my Sceadu 50

Oh...this is my X-Spec canopy that a local guy had painted - which is what I meant by "this time I tried to paint one myself"

Not sure, my buddy is helping me out with the clear coat, he's going to use some auto clear coat out of a spray gun. I'll post when I find out what it is exactly, I know its enamel.

Thanks guys!

I used Dupli-color flexible bumper primer to begin with. I used two or three coats because I kept finding imperfections in the fiberglass and had to fill it and sand it smooth. The two main colors are Krylon fusion, and the black "windshield" has tiny shiny metal flakes in it which will really pop out in the sun! I think that was Dupli-color as well, something called "Black Effects".
