Once again, a lot of paint prep. I remounted the wheel pants and marked them all for at least 5/8" clearance around the wheels, then removed them and cut, filed, and sanded them to the proper clearance. then, back to the Flaps and ailerons, to fill and sand some 'dings'. with that done, I began to paint the inside of the cowls. I got some Epoxy rattle cans from Ace hdwr. BUT!!! after expanding a whole can of paint on the inside of the upper cowl, it became obvious that the fiberglass is EXTREMELY pourous, So much so that it required something to seal the holes in the weave. Paint alone wouldn't even begin to do it. Sooooo. Back to my favorite past time, Filling, good ole Metal Glaze, squeeged onto the inside of the lower cowl. I probably spent way too much time on this, but getting a somewhat aesthetic appearance around the nutplates on the lower cowl was a time consuming task, Anyway with the lower cowl filled and sanded, I went back at it with the rattle can epoxy paint, and this time the results were MUCH better. Moved on the the inside of the upper cowl and got it cmpletely filled and sanded. I need to pick up a couple more rattle cans tomorrow in the am, and finish off the inside of the upper. Then i've got some Smooth Prime apply and sand (ugh!) to do the the upper cowl where I built up the prop spinner ring to match . Tomorrow....
