Mark Curley’s stunning Van’s RV-6 build is a true testament to expert craftsmanship and the power of Tamco Paint’s high-performance products. With a sleek finish and refined detail, this aircraft stands out not only for its style but also for the durability and precision behind its paintwork. Curley’s choice of Secret Silver brought depth, brilliance, and dimension, creating a finish that shifts beautifully in varying light conditions.
To achieve this look, the process began with HP661 Grey DTA Epoxy (Direct to Anything) Kit, providing excellent bonding strength and compatibility across the aircraft’s aluminum surface. Next, HP5310 Grey DTM (Direct to Metal) Primer Kit was applied to ensure a strong foundation and corrosion resistance. Once primed, layers of Secret Silver were laid down, reduced with HR Reducers for smooth flow and even coverage. Finally, the finish was sealed with HC9500 HI-Speed Impact 30 Min Clearcoat Kit, delivering a resilient, high-gloss surface designed to withstand the elements while showcasing unmatched brilliance.
