Finish Kit

Interior Covers ( 3 hrs )

More deburring of various Covers in Sect 42.  Added 6 nutplates to 2 completed prior.  Riveted Doubler to Aft Tunnel Cover - but changed to flush rivets for smoother appearance around Fuel Control Knob.  Adequate clearance was designed into pieces to clear the required dimpling.  Back to finishing the Canopy Fairing, I sprayed 2 coats of sandable primer - part # A4240 Primer from Cromax. Pleased with overall smoothness and contour...but I have more pinholes to fill.    A Dupont paint rep recommended since acrylic based for better compatibility with assumed exterior paint by local paint shop Byerly Aviation ( vs oil based Rustoleum primer I was considering).  I recently contacted Jerry Piatt at Byerly who recommended I contact Tom, his Dupont paint rep locally at National Coating & Supply).
deburred w/ nutplates installed...  but no
screws yet.  Will prime and finish paint soon.
switched to flush rivets for thin spacer surrounding fuel control



#A4240 primer.   Seems "thick", covers well.   More sanding....
