Blades& paint
 
What paint do you use on your blades? & how long does it last on leading edge.
Gloss V Matt finishes, is there a reason other than glare?:suspect:
I understand Imron 5000 is used by some manufacturers
Have heard Devgrip 238 has also been used

500e - depends on the blade. The OEM specifies what we can put on, how much, what colour & where. PM me if you want specific details.

Good reply.
I appreciate OEM requirements, but as you know blades lose leading edge paint in days not weeks or months and if you are a Robo pilot keeping the joint painted is a real neat idea! not that I fly one, the 500 blades are much more forgiving, but as speed = faster erosion a touch up stops paint & alloy erosion.
I was just thinking aloud as to how others keep blades in good condition, but I have seen blades that personally I would not fly.
