Well ladies and gents, weather is breaking here in Michigan. My old Cessna 140 is filthy. They may not have the hose out at the airport, does anyone have luck with the wash/wax detailing sprays for cars for a once in a while clean up? How about on the fabric on the wings? Any issues with using it there? Stitts is what I have.
Also, she is in need of some touch ups. However I cannot find the paint code in the logs. I can find the paint code to the wings from the last recover but not the fuselage. They appear slightly different (Both white). I'm not sure the difference is in actual color or just being on a different surface. How would I color match my fuselage paint? Would my only option be to take the cowl off and take it in to have it color matched??? I can't think of another part that could easily be popped off and on again to do so, nor can I think of a way to "get a chip" off the old girl anywhere....
When touching up, should I put a dab of primer on first, then the paint? or for a chip touch up just the paint ok?
