I've decided that the baffles will be painted with a color looking abit like the engine, so that was done today using Rustoleum Steel.



I also painted some other firewall forward parts : the camlock support strips and the lower cowl support bracket. For these I used calor I had bought when experimenting for the cabin.
While I was waiting between layers, I continued working on the exhaust by cutting all the small steel tubing to the correct length and tweaking the final position. Still not finished but it looks promising.
