<p>Looks pretty good to me, especially if your total cost is $500 and it holds up well over time. What primer did you use, and how did you apply it? Roller too?</p>

<p>Excellent, lookin' good -- have used Brightside on boats to good effect (the weekend-amateur's friend in the paint store) but never thought to use it on the plane -- what a good idea.</p>

<p>I forgot to note: There is rework required on top and bottom. This entire assembly used 4/5ths of a quart of paint. Is it perfect? Heck no. So far, I've spent about $110 on a 1/2 pint of paint with which to test, plus the 433 and 333 thinners, and a bunch of foam rollers. If I can do the whole plane for $500, on a price-per-smile basis I'll win any contest with a $12000 plain-jane paintjob.</p>
