Brief Description:  Interior painting

This was a pretty good day. I primed and painted the interior, from the aft bulkhead of the aft baggage compartment all the way to the firewall. I didn't fully appreciate how much surface area there is in this space, and how tricky some of the job would be. Not that it was actually complicated, just that I had to screw my body into some interesting contortions in order to reach everything. The rotisserie helped immensely.

There are one or two places where I'll have to so some sanding and touching-up. One was where a single drip of paint dripped out of the paint gun -- and it happened twice in the same place, on the right sidewall of the rear cockpit. Oh well. There are also some other small places where a second coat will be required.

Overall, a rewarding day in the construction process! I'll now be away for a few days, and that will allow the paint to cure for a while before I begin re-installing stuff.

A rotisserie really, really helps when you're painting. I did almost the entire job sitting down.
