Applied 3M vinyl line masking tape for the last trim color- silver. Masked off rest of fuselage and scuffed black overspray prior to shooting the silver. I applied the silver in 3 coats- a mist coat, a medium coat and a final wet coat. This allows the metallic to flow out more evenly. I waited about :20 or so between coats to allow it to tack up. I'll let this final coat dry for couple days in the booth, then move the fuselage back to my hangar. Plan is to hang wings in about a week.
Big milestone. Pics to follow when masking is removed.
