Several years ago I followed the advice of Uncle Eddie and bought a can of yellow spray paint so my new engine baffles would color coordinate better with the engine compartment and add a level of class like never before.

This is your last chance to own a used (pre-owned) can of Figuli recommended yellow paint from Arkansas. Like a fine wine, this container has been aging in my hangar for a number of years until it finally achieved maximum value and here we are today.

Bidding starts at paltry 1,000.00 and as a small incentive and token of good will (just because I'm a fair minded individual), I'll ship this to the highest bidder and I'll pay the freight so shipping is free!!

All proceeds will flow to the Woodstock engine fund as payback for the very fine advice Mr. Figuli gave me to help make Sierra what she is today.


Let the bidding begin and let's try to keep this on a friendly level.

So, you're going to give someone $1000.00 to take this can of spray paint off your hands? Send the can and the $1000,00 to my address in St. Peters, MO. We have a dump area that it can go into...

Ron, if I'm reading between the lines correctly, Woodstock (Ed Figuli's) needs an engine and this is a club 'go fund me' to help him with that as a thank you for what he provides to the 150/152 forum community.

He never gave me any good advise.

Plus, I am being sarcastic...

A thousand dollars? Or, a thousand pesos?

Es la pregunta!

Can you use it on prop tips to provide the "contrasting color"?

If yes - you many prop tips do you think it would do?

Does it matter if the prop is polished first?

Out of curiosity, why are prop tips a no-no? What are the rules around prop paint (or lack thereof)?

Sorry I mislead you, Eric.......I said that in jest in the spirit of making fun of anything yellow.

I don't know what the rules are regarding painted prop tips.
