In reply to this and JG's reply question, we paint the wings with the tanks
and all screws on them because the screws, although they eventually may come
off, are not going to be a regular removal item. Any screws that will come
off for an inspection we leave unpainted.
We paint everything separately to not miss "partially-hidden" places and to
get more even painting and to make it easier to handle (ie, painting the
wings on a stand with the leading edge in the air so you don't have to paint
the bottom of the wing from a creeper on the floor). This is one of the
great benefits of painting before you fly, besides not needing to clean all
of the stuff out of all of the pores and cracks of the plane that it may
have picked up while flying or being out in the elements. No flame to those
who have chosen to fly before painting, because I know why you have done it.
After so much time building, you want to get in the air and justifiably so.
But, for those who can wait a little longer and at least get a base color on
like Randy did, I very much recommend it.
Do not archive.

I was at Grady's yesterday, Glo Custom Painting, ands I noticed on a plane there were painting that they had removed almost all the screws in the tank when they painted it to fill the dimple holes with paint but they didn't remove the tank.
