Default Composite Arf Extra 330 35% Respray

Hey guys,

ive just received my Extra 330 Composite arf not long ago..

the paint job isnt to bad but it could be alot better, so im going to be sanding it back and respraying and fixing up a few dents in the under side of the wing..

i'll be posting some pics as i go through painting her.. my scheme im going for yes it maybe plain.. Mike Mangolds Extra in 2005 i think it was, all white but im going to be trying my hand at a bit of airbrushing *havent painted cars in a few years lol*.

One question i need to ask.. how am i going to get around the painting the wings on the composite arf on the ailerons?? any composite owners out there can help me?? they have a sheet of composite *watever lol* holding the ailerons on..

im going to be using normal carpaint from a cheap shop then use 2 pac clear coat.. but the ailerons im not sure how im going to get around that.. as i dont want my paint to crack.


This is my current paint scheme (photo from google not my model)...





Cheers,
Matty
