Mark Curley’s stunning Van’s RV-6 build showcases not only expert craftsmanship but also a lineup of high-performance paint products that brought his vision to life. Starting with a solid foundation, he applied the DTM Primer Kit to ensure exceptional adhesion and corrosion resistance on the aircraft’s aluminum surface. To further enhance durability and compatibility across various substrates, DTA Epoxy (Direct to Anything) was used—living up to its name with excellent bonding strength. The aircraft’s sleek finish owes its brilliance to Secret Silver Metallic, a striking color choice that offers depth and dimension in varying light conditions. To fine-tune the application, HR1380 Slow Urethane Reducers provided optimal flow and leveling, even in warmer temperatures. Finally, for a resilient, high-gloss finish that withstands the elements, the HC9500 HI-Speed Impact 30 Min Clearcoat Kit, sealed the deal literally and figuratively making this RV-6 a true showpiece in both style and performance.
