I am a little concerned about the paint coming off when I peel the latex.<BR/><BR/>One thing that may work in my favor is that all the areas that get painted are raised above the rest of the aluminum, so there are natural edges. Still, it may turn into a disaster. I don't think I've ever painted anything blue just once (except the dome panels, which still may get repainted), so I'm getting accustomed to disasters. :/<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the heads-up, and l too am looking very much forward to R2LA IV!<BR/><BR/>-VictorVictor Francohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161122557964474277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13861891.post-1157132118358011682006-09-01T10:35:00.000-07:002006-09-01T10:35:00.000-07:00Victor,Did you do a test with the laytex stuff fir...Victor,<BR/><BR/>Did you do a test with the laytex stuff first?<BR/><BR/>How thick will the primer/paint be when you peal off the laytex? My experiance with painting cars is if you do not pull the tape soon or build up too much paint then the paint edge can tears as you pull the tape. (In other words it does not leave the clean line you had hoped for. Especially if the primer did not adhere to the base material very well) Very interested to see how these turn out.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait for R2LA. Trying to finish up the bunk beds i am building so i can start cutting R2 parts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
