• 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'm in need of education on paint. I have some acrylic lacquer touch up paint that came with the aircraft when I bought it. I had it put into a rattle can as it was colour matched to the 2 pack that was used to paint the airframe.

What is the better paint for touch ups and painting small parts from a rattle can, acrylic lacquer or enamel? What's the fundamental difference between the two? I want something I can use from time to time without a compressor and a gun.

As you can tell, I'm on a steep learning curve here.
