Elevator and Aft Fuselage Paint Prep May 27

RV14 Build May 27

Paint Prep


Spent the day cleaning metal to prep for priming tomorrow. Same process: Eco-Etch soak 1-3mins, scuff with scotch-brite, rinse well, dry, clean with alcohol or MEK and prime.

Lots of work ahead of me.

Making progress.

All the skins are done!

I decided that I want to try and prime the skins in a vertical orientation, maybe is will help my painting skills?


Finally done for the day!

having the table in the entry way instead of the storage rack was nice. So far I like the move I made for the shop. It gave me workable space even when the paint booth is down and taking up most of the shop.
