Ok...
If I had a metal bird... I wouldn't be asking this (my 'day job' is aircraft structural repair for the Army)... But I don't know one way or the other about wood...
I've picked up a T-40 project that needs painting... It appears to have been covered THICK (up to 1/8" in some areas) with some sort of primer-grey epoxy preparation (which is cracking away from the wood in certain areas, leaving bare wood beneath).... I'm assuming that reparing this = sand down the cracked area & re-prime it...
The next stage is what has me... What do I use to paint the aircraft? This is a 100% wood bird... Also, spray-can, sprayer, or roll-on like house paint?
