REFLECTOR: Top Gloss

[Velocity]

I have been on there site I did not see any thing that said they no longer sell it. Thou all of the distributors I looked at did not list it so Maybe you are right.
Any thoughts on what to do now that my plane is covered in uv Smooth prime.

  I tried it-a total waste of money and many hours to remove it.     It ran like a sprinter and never looked as good as any of the normal paints that are available. Worse, it started to peel off in flight.

  I am all but certain that Top Gloss was recalled years ago.  It had many problems including not adhering and flaking off.  John Slade, turbo-rotary powered Co-Z, had to sand all his off.

   

  Originally it was to be used with Smooth prime primer/filler which is still on the market and currently covers my plane.

   

  When I first got my project there was a great little booklet that showed every step on how to apply it in conjunction with the Smooth Prime.  I seemed promising...but, well, did not pan out.

   

  I think you can find more information on the Poly-fiber website.

   

  All the best,
