Brief Description: Get interior paint ordered, set up for rivet
Talked to customer service at Zolatone. She reported that our desired color was a valid number, but they were out of stock and would not be making any more for several weeks. Made calls to the statewide distributior of Zolatone paint in Washington, Arkansas and National Oak which distributes in several states. None of them had any of the color we want in stock.
Reviewed some of the Zolatone mixes of two colors and found one that may be Ok. Went into Salem and discovered that their distributor had it available in 1 gallon cans, so ordered it. Will be here Wend or Thurs. They also had a real Zolatone color chip book which verified what I thought, the colors in the internet are close but not right. I hope some mixture of the two colors will be good.
Also purchased a gallon of epoxy primer, gray. Will be used on the Zolatone painted things and the exterior of the cabin cover and interior and exterior of the cowl and other fiberglass prior to first flight to prevent oil from penetrating before the real paint job. Went to a tool shop and got paint/air hoses for the paint gun.
Made arrangements for another builder in the airpark to come over tomorrow and buck the rivets on the top forward skin.
