[f-AA] Paint problems

[Kyle]

Sounds like my problem, in reverse, exactly, Gene. Logs show the ac was 
covered, butyrate doped, and then enameled. The last owner "put some 
lipstick on a pig", with a combination of white dope, and blue enamel. I 
would love to restore this old girl, but not for a couple of years. I bought 
it to fly, not tear apart right away. I'll check with Polyfiber people, and 
keep my fingers crossed...Kyle
