We continued the priming and painting of several different parts. The lower cowl will have a little bit of white at the top, so this was masked and painted (most of it will be painted orange later).

Several other door and windshield brackets and trim pieces were primed and painted:
 |
Center door trim, windshield cap strip, and
rear windshield bracket primed |
 |
| Door side brackets and front windshield bracket primed |
 |
| Flight sticks and seat position pins primed |
The door frames were painted black. Once dry, the doors were assembled and riveted. The Lexan windows and center trim pieces were attached with aluminum rivets that had black heads to match the paint.

The front and rear trim pieces were painted vestal white. The windshield front angle brackets were also (attempted to be) painted vestal white, but we had an issue with wrinkling in the paint along the edges. I believe this was due to too heavy an initial coat of paint. This was sanded down and the parts will be repainted. Hours: 24
