PAINTING
This section contains suggestions that will aid in good results when applying finishes to the airplane.
—NOTE—
The paint type is found in aircraft’s log book, parts catalog or
pilot’s operating handbook.
PAINTING SAFETY
—WARNING—
The overspray from certain enamels, if put in water, is
flammable. Store all overspray in covered containers away from
buildings where spraying is done.
—WARNING—
Wash out all rags and sponges used to apply any phosphoric acid
conversion coatings (Alodine) before throwing them away. If
material is allowed to dry on the rag, there is a danger of
spontaneous combustion.
—WARNING—
Use only an air drill when mixing dopes and lacquers. The arcing
motor of an electric drill could ignite fumes.
—WARNING—
Ensure that spray room is well ventilated. A concentration of
fumes could cause a dangerous fire hazard or insufficient oxygen
for the operator.
—CAUTION—
Do not allow paint stripper to come into contact with fiberglass
reinforced parts such as radomes, radio antennas, wing parts or
wing tips. Fiberglass structures may be finished with acrylic
lacquer or polyurethane enamel and can be damaged by the
stripper.
