Took a while for an update, but Oshkosh and visiting family made for a pretty hectic end to July and beginning of August.
As of this writing, the fuselage has it’s white top coat complete. Now it’s time for masking and sanding in preparation for the second half that will be red. Not much else to report besides that.
The painting has been a learning curve, but it’s starting to come together. The biggest hurdle is the time between spraying products. Usually means waiting a day and when you’re just painting one part, it seems like eternity.
I haven’t tracked my hours very closely in this section of work, but I’ll make a guess about what it seems like it has been.
Hope to have pictures of the plane with red on it by the end of next week. Till then, here are some of the white. We did get orange peel in the finish, but I’m satisfied with how it turned out and I have a feeling it will fly just fine.
