 |
|
Does any one have any estimate of the paintable surface area of an
RV-6A? My back of the envelope calculations indicates something the
neighborhood of 320 sq. feet. I wouldn't be surprised if that was off by
20%. Does any one have a more accurate figure?
I am priming my plane's exterior and after weighing a small piece before
and after priming I estimate it will have a 2 or 3 pounds of primer on
it when I'm done. The color coat will be more. From what the painter
says (I'm not doing the color coat), I'd guess at least twice that.

My professionally done RV-6 paint job added 17 pounds. This was using Sherwin Williams Jet Glo with about 50% of the airframe having a yellow coat over the base white and with no clear coat except for some clear coated metallic stripes . I know of some clear coated multi color RV finishes that weigh close to twice that.
