Step 2: Canopy Finishing Suggestions
At your option, the canopy can be used in the Awhite@ form provided or painted to your choice. If overall painting is
chosen, these instructions assume you have the necessary experience and materials therefore only the steps required to
finish the canopy in Awhite@ are described below. Note: If you are changing the color, be aware that the decals are best
applied only over white or very light colors.
NOTE
: Refer to Table 3: Finishing Methods and Procedures. After choosing your finishing methods, please consider
the following list of optional materials:
3M Scotch brite pad or fine steel wool and :@ masking tape
Strong detergent
Masking paper or newspaper
Alcohol or paint prep solvent (such as Dupont #3919 prep-sol)
ATack@ cloth
Paint selection - Paint must be chosen to be fuel proof or compatible with fuel proof clear-coat. Automotive poly-
urethanes are best but modeler=s epoxy or urethane can also be used. Always apply a light coat first, allowing 15-30
minutes set-up time, before final gloss coats.
