Gotta wrap it up to paint chassis now, but
could not resist unmasking some of it just for a quick look.
Cage
is now re-masked and the prop loop and centre of the chassis is in
gloss.
After
getting the centre of the chassis in gloss I dragged the wings out
of storage and cleaned up any marks and scratches incurred while put
away and then shot a final coat of primer over them.
24
hours later I flatted them back and laid on the first coat of gloss,
mmmm......nice 'n shiny.
Wings
have had 3 coats on them now, so I wet flatted them back before the
final coats for a smoother finish. Before and after shot here; (gloss
one before sanding).
Also
got the floor panels out for painting, glad I did as I had not drilled
all the bolt holes in this panel when I remade it, oops
Its all done now and all the ally is sanded
down prior to the epoxy primer going on.
Got
the 5th coat on the wings the other night, and pulled them out to
inspect in daylight tonight;
But
I was not happy with the finish so I flatted them back again.
But
I did get the second coat of primer on the rear floor section.
Got
another coat of paint on the wings now and it all looks very nice.
