First part to paint are the elevators. I needed a way to hold the elevators so I could paint the whole part without toching it. Recall the bearings and the tool my brother made me out of PVC for turning them. I decided to make two long tools to hold the elevators by the bearings. Worked good. The counter balance helps hold them. But you'll see in a minute I had to clamp the ends to make sure they didn't move during spraying.
