Cool pics Steve, I've never done any aircraft work but i see the cleckos and I've used those in my body shop, LOL
My best friend is an airframe jocky so I'm up to date on a few of the tricks.
So tell me what type of paint do you use?
IF its Imron i would like to talk to you about it.

Steve, I dont like seeing pictures of all that corrsion on an airplane, LOL must have been doing alot of flying around salwater huh?
I'm just seeking out some info on Imron, its a tuff/durable paint that alot of guys use on aircraft and boats. I use polyurethanes most of the time but was just looking for some info on the Imron, no biggie..
