| SteveM | Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide | Build | 16-Mar-11 22:20 |  | | Views : 1453 | | The small test piece has three light coats, enough to look very good on the side with primer, but the side I didn't prime could use another coat or two like I had to do with the unprimed nacelle. Looks like a keeper to me. |
| SteveM | Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide | Build | 16-Mar-11 22:17 |  | | Views : 1391 | | I mentioned the problem I had with this primer to a friend and he said it was either too cold or I didn't shake the can enough. It was above the minimum reccomended temperature so I shook the can till my arm was tired and tried again. As you can see, the effort was worth it. |

| SteveM | Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide | Build | 16-Mar-11 22:15 |  | | Views : 1258 | | The LHS wanted $8 for a can of Krylon primer so I got this can of Rust-Oleum engine primer from the home improvement store for $5.50. As you can see, the first test piece was a disaster. |
| SteveM | Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide | Build | 16-Mar-11 22:13 |  | | Views : 1324 | | I took a scrap of silver SoLite to the LHS and found the best color match that I could. Later I realized it was for polycarbonate RC car shells, but it didn't hurt the extra engine nacelle I tested it on, just took a lot of coats to get good color. |
