Matthew Russell sprayed our instrument pod in Nextel when HI was built
- still looks great.

When I rebuilt the instrument panel, I wanted it to match in colour
and texture.

I sprayed severl coats of Rover Tempest Grey (courtesy of Mr Halfords)
- almost perfect match to the Nextel light grey. To get the texture, I
sprayed the final coat by creating a fine mist by 'burst spraying'
while the previous coat was still tacky. Did this about 5 years ago and
still looks very good.

Bob, I missed the earlier part oft his thread, so forgive
me if I am repeating things. Nextel has worked beautifully
for me, but when I was contemplating spraying it myself I
was told that it is pretty toxic and has to be applied
with fresh air breathing mask system - which led me to get
a professional to do it. Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

Thanks David. In fact this is on my second Europa, my first having had the panel sprayed in Nextel by Matthew Russell and still in excellent condition after 15 years.

However I've occasionally had difficulties in getting hold of Matthew and, my being in the south east of England, it's probably a "post it" to him job for the instrument panel moulding. I'm reluctant to do that if I can avoid it - "Sod's Law" and all that kind of thing!

I do have a fresh air mask hence, with all the above in mind, purchasing the Nextel and spraying it myself is currently my preferred option. I've just spoken to MANKIEWICZ UK based in Leicester, UK (telephone number is 011 62 84 77 80) and awaiting their price / pro forma invoice which I imagine will be the same as Paul M notes below.

Whilst expensive, compared to a quoted figure of £456 by Goldburn for them to paint the panel moulding and mounting plates, I reckon buying wet and applying myself needs serious consideration. Furthermore if I have a whoopsy at any time in the future, I guess it's a simple job of rubbing down and doing again.

Another Europa builder who uses his aircraft a great deal mentioned to me he also used Nextel for the inside finishing of the doors. Considering the usage, his doors are still in outstanding condition so I will probably do the same, thereby making buying the paint wet more worthwhile.

Bob, Makes excellent sense. I did my doors and luggage
compartment also and have been pleased with its
durability. Regards, David

Sorry for the confusion, I put Goldburn's website address just for the
colour chart - they do not supply.

The prices for buying the stuff (and £30 delivery!) came from Mankiewicz UK
in Leicester, they are still at the same Leicester address that Clive
posted.
