Brief Description:  Third Coat of Paint

The rear baggage compartment area needed another coat of paint; it was a bit thin near the edges and on the left side. I realized part of the problem I was unable to really shoot the paint at this area without serious overspray...

Built a cardboard backdrop to fit around the top of the fuse just aft of the rear baggage area, and secured in various ways to capture the overspray and was able to apply a third coat to the interior, paying special attention to the rear baggage area to get sufficient coverage.

The color match is spot on when comparing to the Van's powder coat color which I understand is Cardinal Paint T009-GR230.
