Bill, I have seen several polished planes with trim, and the trim seems to resist the polishing
process, G. Pinneo's being one.
A polished Cessna in an airport nearby also comes to mind.
The smiley will probably be difficult to hide. If it ever happens to me, the particular spot will
become a prime candidate for an inspection port (real or fake), depending on the situation...
I always thought the first shine (from raw 6061-T6) would be the most difficult, and that if
polishing after building is complete, there would be more of a chance of causing slight
deformations between ribs or other harder points.
Doing the first polish on the workbench, all future polishing work is just for upkeeping and
removing "shopping centre rash" type stuff...
Cheers

Carlos-
If you're polishing, how do you cover up little mistakes? I have a
smiley on the leading edge of my stab, an extra hole in the middle of
nowhere on my right outboard wing (Have NO idea where that came from!!) and
I figure an ounce or so of fiberglass putty per side will make my outboard
tips look much better. I suppose I could just apply trim where necessary,
but then when you gave everything a routine polish you'd take off the trim.
In addition, you personally polished before assembly. Will it be harder
later on down the line?
Thoughts?
