Over the last couple of weeks, SE Texas temperature has been fluctuating from the high 50s to mid 60s. This has slowed down the painting process of the Anthem. I've had to pick my days when temps were 60+ to shoot colors. On like paints used in the past Wings West RC paint has performed flawlessly in these cooler temps. Next is clearcoat. Looking forward to seeing the color layout on the wings and stabs paired with the fuse. Pretty basic but should be very visible in most sky conditions which is the ultimate goal.
Texas winter weather is in effect. Even though it's not cold compared to other parts of the country recent temps have been prohibitive for painting. This past Saturday temps were in the 70s but windy so instead of flying I elected to spend the afternoon finishing the paint prep and shooting the Anthem's first color.
Every time I paint I learn more about the do's and don'ts. This time the plan is to try reducing the wet sanding effort by reducing orange peel through better gun technique. The gun I'm using is the HVLP Central Pneumatic sold by Habor Freight. After a few test passes on cardboard and tweaking the gun's air and paint flow adjustments I got a pattern I was pleased with. In addition, I held the gun a little further from the surface than before, like 10 inches vs. 6. I'm very pleased with the results. Now I wait for another 65-70-degree day to shoot red.
I prefer simple schemes for visibility reasons plus they're easier to mask and paint. Anthem Wings/Stabs

The Evolution is 3rd in the series of Jason Shulman's Epic design, produced by CA Models. Even though I took delivery in the summer of 2019 the first flight didn't occur until the fall of 2020. The plane is in excellent condition fully capable and competitive flying the 2024-2025 AMA or FAI sequences. The original painted rudder has been replaced with a built-up film-covered version for CG reasons. Due to a quick-release hatch mechanism failure, the original grey-painted canopy has been replaced with a new one painted black. See the pictures below.
