indoor storage covers in US?

PostPost by: chicagojeff » Sun Nov 05, 2006 3:44 pm

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a dust cover for indoor storage? I am in the US. The Elan is garaged, but it gets pretty dirty in there. I know there is a lot of discussion about not sealing moisture against the paint. Anyone got a favorite? thanks. Jeff

I have used for many years the in-expensive lightweight nylon types... providing the paint is not lacquer. For a lacquered finish I used the Evolution type fabrics, very much overkill for indoors, though. My Elan lived under the nylon cover for many years as it was a 2 pack type paint. The Esprit lived under the Evolution cover as it had a lacquer finish. It seems that some, maybe all nylon fabrics will melt the lacquer and leave a fabic pattern. If any one knows why, please let me know. The nylon stows into a small pack, the Evolution is VERY bulky.
