delta99 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I've had much trouble finding the answer to this question. I'm building a B-17G, with natural metal finish. I understand that the control surfaces were fabric covered. How was the fabric finished on bare aluminum aircraft? Did they get silver paint or gray paint or? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin_sam_2000 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 usually a silver dope. Just plan aluminium non metaliser paint works fine in most cases. Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
