Default Texture paint???

What do you guys use to paint the inside of your fuse? I have a new plane I am about to put together and wanted to paint the inside with that cool looking grey texture type paint. Any advice??

Thanks,

CY

Head on over to Home Depot or some place like that, in their paint section they have some paint called "Accents" or something like that. It's in a spay can and the cap will show you what th texture will look like.

Its called stone creations. You need to use a grey primer first and then spray the speckle.You can get it at Home Depot.

I'm not lookin for money. My day job takes good care of me, but I like doing trades. Everyone seems to get more value that way, and nobodys out any cash.

Thanks for the info guys, have you ever had any problem with chipping or it coming off?? Laos in the bottom of the fuse where the sringers are do you just mask off the inside of the covering or what??

Ya don't want to spray anything other than the wood, It's a good idea to do it before you cover.

Careful how much you put on, the weight can add up fast. Use "dusting" coats until the desired look is acheived.

Post some pcs when you are done, I'd like to see how it comes out.

Dang'it Conrad. Why did you have to go and do that? It makes me want to yank all the electronics out and texture mine!
