To be honest, I didn't really use the Stewart system. I used the 3M glue that is reported to be the same glue they used. In addition, I used house paint and Gripper primer. There is a fair bit of information out there for doing this. It is way cheaper, non-toxic, and you can have any color you can dream of. If you want it perfectly shiny and beautiful you will have to spend a lot of time sanding and buffing - something I plan to do over the winter. My first priority is to get it Flying and from 20' away it looks fine.
