It sounds strange that fiberglass would melt in sunlight if painted
a dark color (colour for you British types). I know I have seen
Corvettes painted dark colors, although I suspect that the fiberglass
used in airplanes is probably different than that used in plastic
roller skates.  ( A mechanic friend of mine says that 'vette
fiberglass is actually VERY heavy, it takes at least six people
to lift the body off the car. Obviously this would be unacceptable
in an aircraft ...or a serious car.)	;-)

Anyone know if there are different types of fiberglass?
