We used Stewarts on our rebel and it was a breeze and looks awesome. Some experienced painters have troubles with it because they already "know" how to paint and don't think they need to follow the instructions. That's one thing about Stewarts. You MUST follow the directions to the T or you will have problems. I painted the plane in sections and never had trouble with differnt shades. Clean up with soap and water is awesome, especially for the gun! And no fumes!

I recomend you talk to other Stewarts users; there's a good thread on it on supercub.org. That's my .02

You could also check out a commercial system like hobbyair. Probably not a whole lot more expensive than gathering all the parts you'll need.

I used the HOBBY-AIR System for all my needs. A friend loaned it to me, Now I am trying to buy it from him.

My thinking is IF YOU MUST USE THOSE 2 PART EPOXI PAINT PRODUCTS, YOU MUST USE A GOOD SAFE BREATHING SYSTEM. For me ...end of discussion!
