Listers,
I spent some time talking to the Stewart Systems (formerly AFS) guys at
OSH about their water-borne polyurethane paint system. I painted my
RV-6A with Imron (single stage), but am interested in something less
hazardous for my RV-10, if it'll do a good job. Do any listers have any
experiences with this paint that you'd care to share? I'm interested in
any experiences with applying the paint, quality of finish, and
durabiltiy (wear, resistance to fuel spills, etc).
Thanks,
Tim Lewis

Hi Tim,
I have been painting my RV 8 interior as I go using their system. It takes a while to figure out how to use it. The folks at hanger 21 have been very helpful in technique tips. They also make a pretty good video they sent to me. The real key in getting a really smooth, tough finish is the final coat. Needs to go on thick enough to flow to gloss but not so thick it runs.
All in all, I have been pretty pleased with the product and support. It hasn't been outside yet, so I can't really comment on wear.
Good luck with it.
