• 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.

Shooting some Poly-Tone Santa Fe Red . I’ve used the Poly System from step 1 . Follow the manual I shot 1 coat of White over the Poly Spray Silver , then top coated over the white . First Color came out perfect ( Glacier White ) covered in 2 full coats . When I shot the Santa Fe Red I noticed “Stripes “ so I crossed the second coat 90°, same for the third then a fourth coat ….. still see faint stripes . I’m considering trying a grey or silver base on the next parts before the red .
Thoughts ???
