	Hi,
	I am using a Utech primer that Hangar 18 gets from Akel-Nobel for the
	final prime coat on my project.  Luckily there is a body shop across the
	way and his paint booth will fit the XL.  I will do the masking, and he
	willing to work w/ me on doing a final top coat of white and whatever
	stripe scheme I want to mask up for him.  We've agreed to buy the paint
	from Akel Nobel which should eliminate any product compatibility issues.
	
	Here's my question.  Cars normally get 3 coats of clear coat.  Any
	opinions out there on how many coats is enuf for an airplane?  I hate to
	add unnec weight.
	
	Thanks,
	Terry
