 |
|
Canopy is on (not yet riveted) and I'm satisfied with fit.
Does it make more sense to go forward with doors and windows now or should I fill pinholes (with canopy either on or off fuselage) and do initial prime of canopy before moving forward?
Rick's comments reminded me I should distinguish between interior and exterior.
Planning on using Abby's flightline interior.
So- do I leave the exterior alone until ready to prep for paint?
Go ahead and work on doors.
Finish up interior before final attachment.
Just trying to figure out best order of steps to follow.
Thanks,
Tom H.

Tom,
I completely body worked the interior and primed it prior to installing. I'm using a faux suede paint (stuff used on yachts in the bridge interiors) that was use on my panel and console to paint the interior once I get the filling completed around the point where it mates to the fuselage. I have done nothing to the exterior and won't until close to paint time. Do as much to the interior as you can stand before sticking it on for good. Mike Sausen is installing his headliner while it's off, leaving the part of the headliner rolled up that go to the rivet line. If I was doing a headliner I would do the exact same thing. If you have an upholster in mind now is a good time to contact them for a first look at the headliner unless you going to do it yourself. I really did a lot of body work to the interior of my cabin top...smoothed all the window areas, the posts, blended the area behind the doors that look like big ol square chunks of garbage. I also have the overhead console and the green top...you pink top owners may have less to do. I can say that at several times in the process I said I had enough, but I came back and did more and glad I did, Mine would take a headliner very nicely now due to the faring and rounding of the protrusions but I'm sticking with my suede paint...at $100 a quart, which I already purchased, I'm sticking to that plan!!

Hey Rick, what's the name of the paint you're using?
