We finished masking the entire fuselage, and shot a coat of white primer (2 cross-coats). Since the temps were in the low 80s, we switched to warm-weather reducer when thinning the primer. This slows the curing process a little bit to prevent the primer from drying too quickly. We started on the bottom of the fuselage which was a good thing because we noticed a few runs on this less visible area. After this, we quickened the pace a bit to prevent runs when shooting the top and sides of the fuselage.

After priming, we wet-sanded the base primer coat, which allowed us to smooth it out and also get out the runs that were on the bottom surface. After sanding, we cleaned all the sanded surfaces with clean water to remove all the sanding debris. Hours: 11
