Painting in process

Given the time of the year, this process might take longer than usual, however we are well on our way with many small parts like the cowlings, the tail cone fairing, flapperons, rudder, Vertical Stabiliser and anti-servo tabs already done. The big things are still ahead: fuselage and wings.
We took the opportunity forced on us by SB 12-11-09 requiring to remove the Main Landing Gear (MLG) to put the fuselage on a rotisserie concocted by Terry. Here is how it works:
Firewall and tailcone end are attached to rotating supports

This allows to tilt the fuselage while painting, making the painting of the bottom more comforatble for the painter.

Here the fuselage is in the paint booth, waiting for priming.

The cockpit is all taped/masked with plastic sheets that are specially made for gun painting as they will keep the paint mist attached, preventing the mist to turn into invasive dust.
Here is a view of the cockpit with the Skyview under heavy protection:

The preparation is labor intensive and in the Experimental spirit, I am doing it all, with some help here and there!
