I painted my T-45 in a Gloss Navy Blue in a "Blue Angels" scheme. She sat out in front of my tent at Joe Nall for 8 days, half the day in the sun, when the canopy didn't provide cover. She is still still as pretty as when I first painted her.
Thanks!!!

The first batch should be completed tonight if everything goes to plan. We'll put the page up and start a pre-order as soon as we have confirmation these have shipped. We prefer to only start a pre-order when the planes are on the water so we are 100% sure of the ETA we pass on to you. Assuming the first batch is completed tonight, look for a pre-order in a week or so (potentially less).

Thanks!!!
Here she is..
Clear coat is Rust-O-Leum gloss clear.
Also bear in mind, this airframe is well over a year old, and has been a little banged up over her career!!

That's encouraging news. Did you just paint over the existing paint or strip and prep? Any special paint or primers?
I sanded, primed and repainted one of my Bearcats in a darker Navy Blue color than stock version and I haven't had any trouble with gatoring yet either. Don't know if it's the undercoat, paint or overcoat but when I hear of others having disasters in the sun it makes me wonder what the differences are.
Maybe the ones having trouble are using some sort of solvent based paint or topcoat and it hasn't finished off gassing before being exposed to the sun and heat causing a reaction?

I am with you on this one. I am going ARF+ as well. I have been dying to dive into the realm of custom setups so why not on this?
Once you step up, you won't want anything stock though haha!
