Mar 05, 2024 3.5 Windshield fairing interior radius painting Category: Windshield
I wasn't really happy with the results of the hand-brushed paint from yesterday. It had a mottled look. In a final effort to get the interior fairing radius looking acceptable, I decided that this area had to be spray painted rather than hand-painted. This would hopefully get the smooth flow-out I wanted.

1. Removed all the previous tape and overspray plastic, because there were areas of it I didn't trust for spray painting.
2. Cleaned up the entire cockpit sill area and fairing.
3. Masked and applied plastic sheeting to the entire cockpit again.
4. Sprayed the fairing radius with two coats of satin-gloss black enamel.

This time, everything came out pretty well. I'm happy enough with it for now. I can always re-address it after paint, if I need to.

5. Closed the canopy and took photos of the entire forward fuselage to send to Bruce's Custom Covers, who are making a canopy cover for me.
