Brief Description: B. Primer and paint on the panel and others
I started the morning with a session of chemically etching (with EkoEtch) the parts that were going to get primer and then let those parts dry. Then I opened the primer and stirred it up really good and then did the same thing with the paint. Because I have 3 hours of pot life on the paint, and it needs to be mixed with catalyst, I will prime the parts and while they are drying, I can quick clean the spray gun and mix the paint and then start spraying the final coat of battleship grey.
Well, I did not take any pictures of the process because it was all business - but the end results can be seen below. Of course, I had 2 instances of FOD, one on the main panel and one on the right sub panel, but I was able to do a little work on those and hopefully it will not be noticeable.
