Ranthane Aircraft Coatings Ranthane requires three separate components (which are sold separately, see Options tab) that are mixed before application. All three components are required and cannot be substituted: Ranthane polyurethane paint, AU-2X1 Catalyst, and G-4200 Ranthane Thinner. Mixing: Mix two parts Ranthane with one part AU-2X1 and stir. Allow to sit for 20 minutes induction time before use. Thinning: For best results, thin 33%, then spray a vertical surface test area with a moderate coat to insure that the film has no orange peel and is not too runny. |

I used this on fiberglass tip tanks. The paint looks amazing, but I found that the manufactures directions to thin it 3:1 resulted in extreme runs, especially in cold temps. Using just a few ounces per qt worked best for me. Tips look beautiful. Also, the manufacturer was very responsive and helpful when I reached out. Price is much lower than other aircraft paints, considering the price for a full gallon. Im not a very experienced painter, so keep this in mind. Will purchase more soon. Recommended.
Got it. Back order came through in minimum time - thanks, Lee

Excellent Paint, I have been using Randolph Ranthane since 1975. Mandatory to use proper safety equipment when spraying.
One of the best aircraft paints ever.

Yes, it will work on both fabric and primed metal surfaces.
Ranthane may be applied directly over fabric surfaces when the Rand-0-Fill silver butyrate has dried at least 36 hours. More drying time is better. Epoxy primer should dry for one week over metal or composite surfaces before applying Ranthane. If you are painting a light color you would use the white epoxy primer.
They recommend EP420 epoxy primer.
Try a keyword search for EP-420.
This is a 2:1 mix, so two parts Ranthane to one part catalyst.
We mix the paint in-house.
