    It had been about 15 years since covering my first Kitfox before painting my second and was.surprised by the cost of paint. A friend told me about $2000.

    I totally agree with Jim. I remember once flying to a build center to visit the "West Desert Fly-in". The build center built Rans kit planes and used an automotive paint with elasticizer. Several big bare spots on some airplanes.where the paint cracked and pealed. Sorry, but in my mind it sort of is like auto conversion engines.

    I bought 4 gallons of Aerothane for my SS7 and only used 2.5. Could have done it in 2 gallons if I was a better painter.
