November was a slow month, spent working details on the
wheelpants, uninteresting to describe or show.
December got much more exciting as we started fuselage
painting. The process began with numerous coats of K36
primer, most of which were blocked back off to level the surface.
Once the final even coat was on, we put on a bright white (ppg
#28xx). Then the stripes & number mask from Moody AeroGraphics
were put on. After back masking the white, the lower fuselage,
stripes & numbers were painted 'Hawaiian Orchid' (ppg #xxxx).
After a bit of detailing, the masking was moved back 1/8", the
edges of the purple knocked down, and clearcoat (ppg #xxxx) was
applied. Wet sanding finished the task.
