paint color

Mar 22, 2011 2 Replies

I've got a friend who is building a P-38 Lightning and is going to leave the skin off of it and just display the frame. He wants to know what color to paint the frame. I suggested a light green as it would resemble zinc chromate, but I'm not sure if that is what is normally done in cases like this.


Typically an olive green or light green/yellow would be the standard color.

I'd go for no paint at all. Just bare wood (or metal).
