Are you touching up in small spots or painting whole panels? I've been
looking into touching up spots around windows. Imron is a spectacularly
expensive touchup paint! I painted a spinner a couple of years ago with
an automotive two-stage paint and it's holding up great although I
decided to polish my planes spinner because it "seemed" (another story)
like it would be easier. Any paint system is expensive since you need
to buy the catalyst, the appropriate thinner and other extras like a
dewaxer solvent
Owner painting is okay if it's not a control surface. I've been
planning on touching up with a gravity feed touchup gun because it
needs the least amount of paint in the cup, how were you going to apply
the paint?

I have found that an airbrush is great for touchup with Imron. You can
mix up the stuff by the 1/4 teaspoon, if you like, and touchup some very
small areas.

I have also found that you can store mixed Imron in small bottles in the
freezer for about a week. The freezer inhibits the setup of the paint
sufficiently to keep it alive. This also works for 2-part epoxy primers.
