Thanks to all who replied on the paint adhesion problem... I've gotten a lead on a product called "Rapid Prep" ( http://www.rapidtac.com/prep.html ) that is supposed to do the trick on silicone and other foreign materials.
FWIW, this is not on the Flying Squirrel (although I had the same situation on some parts that I painted on it)... at the moment I'm working on repairs to the Pietenpol. Hope to have it back in the air in a few weeks. And no, the Piet is not fast enough to serve as the photo ship for the Gathering. Top speed, downhill, with the wind, is probably slower than stall on most KRs! Oscar Zuniga San Antonio, TX mailto: taildr...@hotmail.com website at http://www.flysquirrel.net
