We are nearing paint time. I think. I hope.....
I have a few questions, as other than rattle can painting, I have never painted a thing that didnt use a brush (or occasionally a roller).
Quantity: How many total gallons of paint does it take to paint a biplane? Just top coat would be handy but primer is also useful to know.
Assume a 5 color paint scheme, not necessarily complex but where it is complex, we should have vinyl masks to assist for next questions:
How long would it take to paint it professionally if the fabric have the initial gray coats (ecofill, not sprayed on), the fiberglass has been prime coat only, much of the metal etched.
How much would it cost to paint it professionally? Roughly.
I am trying to decide how much paint to order and what to expect if I seek professional help in painting.
