Priming and Painting

 We are focused back on priming and painting of several different parts. The boot cowl and top cowl were painted in the paint booth with a couple coats of vestal white.  Residual dust was sanded and buffed/polished off. While those parts were inhabiting the paint booth, we were able to prime the door frames outside on a nice day.

The lower cowl was also masked and prepped for paint.  There will be only a small area of white on the top as most of the lower cowl will be painted orange.  Also, several aluminum pieces were primed (outside again).  This included flight sticks, seat adjustment pins, plus several canopy and door brackets.  We tinted the primer gray for these pieces as most of the interior is gray.  Hours: 23
