              I have used the Pre-val with the K&B epoxy paints, back in the 80's, worked real well.
              We used them at work also, to touch up aircraft parts, after repair.

                  Thanks for this feedback. Great to hear from someone who's used this. Looked too good to be true, especially for the price. Simpler than setting up and cleaning my air brush too. I for one plan on trying this at some point...

                    Here are some tips for using Klass Kote on the fiberglass canopy and back hatch cover.

                    Since it's epoxy paint, I did not use primer.

                    I lightly sanded a cross hatch pattern to skuff the gel coat. Then wiped it with the Klass Kote reducer.

                    Here's how the fiberglass back hatch cover turned out...

                        The fiberglass is a little bit more of a struggle to paint with a brush than wood.

                        What I've been doing is brush on a coat and let it flash off. Doesn't take long at all to flash off. Wait maybe five minutes.

                        On this first coat I'm not laying it down heavy, or worrying about bare streaks or brush marks.

                        Then lay down the second coat. Now it flows and covers nicer.

                        On wood I was brushing one full coat, keep it flowing and keep moving. It seems to cover better and doesn't leave bare streaks...

                          Here are close up(6"away) and stand off(2'away) shots of my brushed finish. Not perfect, but certainly good enough.

                          It does flatten some more after first brushing it on until it sets. This is cured over night so it's the final finish.

                          The gloss and overall appearance is beautiful...

                            Very nice! After a week or so let us know how flexible the paint is.

                              Cutting out lettering one more time.

                              Taping the canopy for the white at the bottom around the orange and the RSX380 lettering...
