[quote] Whoever did the fabric on the cage on this plane didn't follow standard procedures for poly-fiber. They used automotive paint and didn't apply the silver coat for UV protection. I will probably have to do a recovering of the cage soon enough.

Cristal,
It is my understanding that the use of Auto Paint on Poly Fiber is not either recommended or good. I repainted my Firestar with Auto paint when I first bought it. All seemed ok and I did use it for a long time, but it did do something to the fabric, and just carrying the wings by hand was enough to split the fabric. Scary in the extreme. If this guy did the wings with the auto paint, I would suggest that you do a fabric punch test to make sure that it did not affect the covering. The cage wouldn't be much more than an inconvenience, the wings would be serious.
