I have no clue about paint, not even 101 level, this is the basement--- painting 001.
I'm getting close to the point where I need to paint the interior of my RV-10. I've read all sorts of suggestions--- appliance paint, Rustoleum Professional, Jetflex WR, Polane 700R. Some use epoxy primer, some rattle can self-etching, some none at all. What I could really use is some help with the basics so I can begin to parse all of this information.
Question 1:
I'd at least like to consider a mostly painted interior (as opposed to panels/upholstery). Can one do a good long term job with a spray can products? There's a lot of interior to see in an RV-10, what will it look like after 10 years of wear and tear?
Question 2:
Crazy as it may sound, my entire workshop is 18x11 feet. I can't even get the fuselage outside without knocking down my neighbor's fence. I do have great lighting, the ability to hang plastic from the ceiling, and a compressor that will do 6.5 cfm at 40psi. It seems like I could (just) spray Jetflex WR or similar with this setup. Does that seem accurate? Would I need some sort of water removal device and a respirator, too? Can I use one of the low cost HF guns?
Question 3:
What else should I be asking here? I am at the point where I don't know what I don't know.
Thanks for the help,
David
