Rattle can canopies?

[glen_j]

yeah just an airbrush and some time. its painted with 2k lacquer that is fuel proof that comes in a can. the hardener is in the can and mixed by pushing a plunger in the bottom.

I did this one a year or two ago - its a plastic raptor canopy which is still fine - it did get cleared with 2 part lacquer though.

Hi glen

I would love to get a spare canopy sprayed, what roughly would it cost to spray to something like your knight 3D ? Looks Good !

[glen_j]

Not sure now, but it used to contains Cyonide?(spelling lol) so need proper breathing equipment and possibly have to cover exposed skin.

2-pack paints contain isocyanates - these chemicals cause, amongst other things asthma and dermatitis, and are readily absorbed both through airborne particulate contamination and also through the skin, so must be treated with great caution. Certainly not to be sprayed without air-fed breathing aparatus

So best to get a professional to fuel-proof your canopy. Other than that it's perfectly feasable to spray a canopy with aerosols (cellulose)

Of course cellulose laquer is fine for leccy helis
