Brief Description: Tip up cabin Frame, Interior paint selection/resea
Today I did some research on the interior paints. I e-mailed Sherwin Williams for their Jet-Flex water based interior aircraft paint. I got a call from a salesman a few hours later...he will send me prices and a color chart. I can buy quart sizes & up. I also like the looks of the Rustoleum hammered finish. I bought 2 cans today to see if I liked them. I really want the color"gray". The 2 I got are Silver (too light) and dark bronze (too dark and brown...) I want to keep with cool gray colors for the interior. I then began to work on the tip up cabin frame. Most of this can be done on the bench, which is good because I don't want to install anything else in the fuselage until I get the interior painted. Most of the interior will be covered up with carpet, seats and panels from Classic Aero...I love their interior stuff and even though it will be expensive, I will go all out to get a very classy and elegant leather interior.....$$$. I drilled the 2 aft access holes in the frame and then began to fabricate the 4 mounting angles. These will take some time. I think my last band saw blade is dull and I will have to order a couple more. More tomorrow....
Rustoleum Hammered finished is a front runner - but I can't find Grey....
The aft cabin frame halves w/ the access hole cut out.
One of 4 angle pieces to fabricate for mounting the cabin frame.
