Interior Paint (Part 6)

Now that the Instrument Panel Frame has been sprayed with the medium gray SEM paint, I’m moving on the baggage compartment area.  However, prior to painting, I need to tape off some stuff and cover some stuff up.  Below are a couple views looking aft showing the areas that we taped off not he Baggage and seating areas.....complete with the “EXPERIMENTAL” lettering on the PAPER “Baggage Bulkhead Corrugation!!!!


The Flap Motor is under the painters plastic.

I also covered all the areas up front to prevent overspray from getting all over everything.

Once everything was taped off, I needed to prepare the areas to be painted.  First, I used gray Scotchbrite and scuff the surfaces.  Secondly, I vacuumed the entire areas to remove debris and dust created from the scuff job.  Lastly, I wiped all the area with a paint prep that removes any grease or other substances from the surfaces.  I will start spraying some paint during the next session.
