It is a K@K job painting the air-frame. Lots of paint wasted and always spots that you missed

Aaahhh, but old spraypainters have some tricks up their sleeves for that problem

I kept going back finding all the missed spots, Even after I was sure it was all good, I now found one that needs a second coat, on one of the few exposed parts in the cabin!
Jean you could have shared the tips and tricks

What made it worse is we have an open air spray booth

Jean, sorry I missed you the other day. Been busy finishing my PPL, so taking the work a bit slow. I need to get the wings on, to install the butt ribs, but the weather and time available are not working in sync at the moment. Hopefully will get it done this weekend.
