Marty d's CH-701 build log

[skippydiesel]

White is the most boring but all round functional colour ie relativly high viz, cooler than most others, less vulnerable to UV, shows the dirt/scratches less, usually easier to colour match/repair.

 

If I repaint my white Sonex, I think I will go for "Burnt Sienna" otherwise known as high viz yellow/orange.😈

The 701 also has rounded pop rivet heads all over it so that's probably not good for vinyl either.

I was able to line up my numbers to miss the rivet heads, but the logo on the tail hit about 20 of them on each side. They form a bubble when first applying the vinyl, but a pin hole allows the air out and the vinyl stretches a bit to sit down over the shape of the head. Having said that, I wouldn’t want to do it over hundreds of heads if applying large areas of vinyl.
