Brief Description:  Priming the Empenage

I've been planning this stage for a while. Some weeks ago I went to Costo and bought 6 large plastic tarps with grommets to serve as the outer walls of a paint booth within my garage. I chose tarps that were blue on one side and silver on the other on the thought that having the silver side inside would make the most of whatever lighting I can put above the pait booth. I then assembled PVC pipes into a rectangular frame and hung them from the garage roof structure. I bought steel shower curtain rings and used them to hang the tarps from the PVC pipe frame. I made sure to to overlap the tarps one full grommet to keep any overspray within the paint booth.

I hung my cleaned parts from additional PVC pipe using safety wire. It's relaively cheap and shouldn't block paint from getting to the part.
