Detail Painting

We’re working on the small bits, but here are some pictures from the work just finished. Notice the chrome in the landing light well, the dark crackle on the strake pocket, and the nice fit of the nose hatch. We’re thinking about getting our interior done this spring, so we’re going to paint the door […]

Painted Pants

These pants will want to be lightly sanded and buffed, but they look sharp. They weren’t going to cure very quick in the cold, and I wanted to move on to the canard and door touch-up, so I brought these home. We should get the canard touch-up tomorrow and clear the door beams and the […]

Seriously, the pictures don’t do it justice, the lens needed cleaning, but it’s sweet. We primed the pants […]
