• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I am well into the painting portion of the process and I am having excellent results with Airtech coatings. The process instructions call for an initial coat of color, allow to fully cure for about 4 days, wet sand and then two more coats about 30 minutes apart. But my initial coats I am very happy with. Except for a few imperfections like a speck here and there or too thin (usually along edges) an application resulting in a bit of orange peel, it looks great. So, for those guys who have used Airtech, has anyone simply stopped at the first coat and skip the second and third? Airtech suggests that the latter two coats are optional, but I wonder what the end result might be.
Thanks
