How's about it? Do you paint in the hangar or in a paint shop booth?
We have two more to do and want clean glossy finishes without flaws.
TIA.


If the hangar was good enough, the spray booth would never have been
invented. That said, I've sprayed in very substandard conditions - an
old chicken coop we were using as a car club building - and got a very
good finish - I washed down EVERYTHING just before painting and hung a
clean tarp over the car to keep the ceiling from dripping.

All quite true. That said, in southeastern Florida, we had had numerous
incidents of aircraft in nearby hangars receiving overspray and the already
overzealous management at some of the local airports have gone on a rampage
over everythig from excessive mainenance in T-hangars to storage of
not-aviation items...

Besides, if you spray polyurethane (whether Imron or any of the other names)
without all of the proper equipment, you really are committing suicide--and
that's no joke.

I recommend using that additional sanding-out and polishing time for
something more productive in one's usual area of endeavor. Then pay a
professional to do a professional job on the airplane. And, yes, I do pan
to take my own advice!

IIRC, painting is not part of any 51% rule.
