Is there any way to spruce up an Aerothane finish on a fabric Super Cub?

So a light sanding and MEK would not let you shoot another color coat?
Well dang it..
Wow that’s pretty faded for Aerothane. I don’t see anything peeling though. Clean, light sand and paint. Be careful sanding tape edges, screw heads and stitching.OK, I was wonder if additional coats of Aerothane just peel off or what.

Are you dealing with aerothane or polytone?
Aerothane, prep and paint like you would a car. No need to subject yourself to MEK unless you are dealing with Polytone.
MEK will destroy any undercoats it would contact. New problem. Don't try Acetone, either. It'll soften Aerothane and that makes wrinkles in the finish. New problem.
I have come to believe that red seems to fade fater than other colors. We scuffed and reshot my Dad's red Clipper wings with AirTec this past winter. No issues and it looks great.
Do you think Ranthane would stick over Aerothane if prepped correctly?
Thinking about a darker red like Boston red, over whatever that is now.
superflite offers some nice narrow 1"? 1 1/2" pinked tapes I keep in stock for taping over 2" tapes with cracks in center... just for repainting jobs.... order some...
NEVER repaint over cracks without patching.. they WILL curl open in a short time....
My cub was recovered 23 years ago and always hangared It has a number of minor cracks in the paint
Could the cracks be sanded primed and repainted?
