After some sanding with 320 grit, the cowls seems to look good enough for a light coat of primer.
I don't cross spray, the coat should only show the small problems. There are quite few, I'll sand and fill them tomorrow before the fianl paint coat.

Before priming the cowl, I first have to fill in all the holes I have found last time. There are a lot more than expected, every square inch has to be inspected.

I first sand all the gear fairing parts with 320 grit. I then spray some primer (tinted gray). The result looks quite good, there are some very small problems due to some difficulties in setting up the HVLP gun. Some sanding before final paint should take care of this.



And these are the gear legs fairings. I stll have two parts left to paint tomorrow.

Almost four hours where needed to sand all the wheel fairings and the empennage fairing. All the parts were done with 180 grit, those ready for paint were then sanded with 320 grit. Some parts still had some defects but there were very few.

The session was almost entirely devoted to the nutplates installation on the rear plate.
We had to drill for the srew hole, drill for the rivets, countersink the rivet holes, deburr the holes, paint a fine layer of primer and rivet the nutplates. Some small sidetasks got also completed.
