Are you sure you can send it out for a professional paint job?

None of the pro's I'm aware of use Stewarts, and I'd be concerned about a standard Polyurethane like Imron or Jetglo sticking to the latex-based primer.

I just assumed I was going to have to paint it myself.

A buddy of mine restores Super Cubs, he uses Stewart Systems except for the paint.For paint he uses Martin/Senior Prism Urethane,his personal 2 Cubs have had it on for over ten years and it still looks great. The way he explained it to me is the water is just a carrier and you can put Urethane over it without any problems.I put some of Stewarts filler on a sample piece of fabric and even sprayed carb cleaner on it and it wouldnt touch it. Super good stuff.

Jon you're right, mixing products is always suspect, however one thing, Stewart's is not Latex-based, it's waterborne urethane, so once it's mixed and set it's as good as the solvent stuff (maybe even better in some cases). Much different than Latex based paints that will get soft and lift up after application.
