The painting continues. The main struts were previously painted, but we found the coat was light in a few places with gray showing through along the leading edge of the struts, so another coat was applied to both struts.

The flap-gap seals are long aluminum strips that cover the gap between the wing and the flaps. These were painted vestal white to match the wings. There were some imperfections after painting, so these were then sanded with 2000 and 3000 grit, and buffed.

A couple of front windshield angle brackets were painted, along with the pitot tube fairing.

We also hung and painted the oil door and a couple of inspection cover plates. We plan on lightly sanding and buffing the oil door so it will be smooth and shiny to match the cowling. Hours: 18
