The paint scheme for the airplane is pretty well set in stone, but I've been thinking about one particular detail for a while -- how to deal with the exhaust ramp under the belly. It will be subject to a lot of heat, and I can see the potential for long-term heat-damage to any paint that's applied. So today, I decided to polish it. I masked off the panel, then used Eagle One Nevr-Dull wadding polish to shine it up. It came out looking nice, but I wonder how quickly it will tarnish, and how much work it will be to keep it looking good. At least I didn't decide to polish the entire airplane.
