• 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've built up my fabric using Polyfiber products. polybrush, polyspray, polytone white base. My finish colors will be in Ranthane with Red Fuselage, Metallic Silver Wings and Tail.

The manual says spray one coat, let tack, spray second coat (not cross coats) and DONE. I sprayed the cockpit interior fabric per the directions, covered well, gloss was good, kind of a tight space for the gun but no runs.

In reality, I'm wondering what most are doing in the way of Color sanding, how many coats etc? If you have some real world experience with Ranthane you could pass along, please do.
