Interior Painting Continues

Primed the seat area, leg area and the side of the step area. Then 5 hours later painted them with the stone finish. On Sunday, will clear coat all. Getting close to being complete with this part of interior paint. Still have to wait for the non-skid pads in the step area which should arrive with the finishing kit. Will then paint the edges of the step area.

Will paint the canopy decks on Sunday and then be close to done with the interior.

Started to debur all of the parts in Section 29. BE CAREFUL if you use the scotchbrite wheel to debur the three instrument panel parts. When I deburred the instrument panel, I kept all of the corners very sharp (near 90 degrees), think it looks much better than a rounded edge. (Thanks Larry!) Used a sanding block. Muscle power!!

Going to have to paint the underside of the F-1205, Mid Fuse Brace and the F-1254-L/R Support Frames. Would have been EASIER earlier, before riveting. Will get it done on Sunday.

Time Today - 3 hours (Lots of waiting for the paint to dry).
