Worked off & on today deburring and grinding smooth the lightening holes. Our monthly potluck lunch at airport gave me opportunity to talk with airport manager (and my instructor) Barry Logan, who built his RV7a couple years ago. He's been a valuable resource / mentor. Today I got a fresh (re-) inspection of his plane too. We covered how he painted interior, source for seats and wall panels (Flightline), local paint shop Byerly Aviation, and fact he didn't paint his Brake Pedals. Ta -Dah ! I'd been considering same approach, since almost any primer and paint will partially wear off. His pedals still look great (midwest region & hangared helps vs salty coastal areas). I'm now planning to buff mine.
