Title: Painting the Berkeley Jet
Post by: JackB on July 09, 2013, 10:40:39 PM

What is needed to paint the Berkeley Jet? 
I've seen one or two painted, it looks quite cool, but what is involved?
The white paint is on pretty good, just sand it and paint it??
Is this a good idea, or will it peel?   What kind paint?  2-part and clear?
Thanks, JackB

My before and after pics. Used the epoxy paint. Cleaned everything with thinner and went to town. Epoxy paint is slow to dry but very strong. I sanded with those 3m fiber pads. Very happy with it.
