The fiberglass is Rustoleum primer and then Rustoleum 2x aluminum metallic. Yes, the aluminum is just polished. The colors are a vinyl stripe kit from Aerographics.
@@echojuliett7401 Thank you for the reply. My RV-12 is just about ready for airworthiness inspection and is not painted. Looks like a relatively easy and inexpensive way to go. Do you wish you had painted the whole plane? What do you use to polish the aluminum?
@@greglong1492 I've polished it only once in 1 1/2 years using Blue Magic 400 metal polish cream. I keep it hangered and have stayed away from any inclement weather, so for me having it unpainted has worked out fine. Have fun getting your plane in the air soon!
Thanks for your reply’s on previous questions regarding your polished 12iS. I’m a subscriber - just finished my 12iS - calibrated the fuel tank to the HXD yesterday. My wife saw the polished plane and said the graphics are very striking. Used to live in Mt Vernon so we enjoy your videos / identification of graphical points of interest.
Will never understand why countless aviation videos have loud music. So not needed!
I see you didn't paint your plane. What did you do with the fiberglass and is the aluminum just polished? Is the color wrap material?
