Painting 80A

[nippaero]

Thought I would share some shots on the progress of my plane. We have been busy prepping and cleaning getting ready to paint 80A. We decided to paint the fuselage first so I could get started hanging the engine while the work continues on the winds. We've been fixing old patches taking out all the screws and replacing with rivets, new windshield, installed BAS tail pull and BAS shoulder harnesses. Also put in a new tailwheel bracket.

Silver and blue. The interior will be gray and blue.

You need to paint that glare shield a flat black, or cover with black upholstery material. The white will reflect on the windshield....very annoying !
