The end in not as near as expected. After a final sanding, I applied some primer and the result is not as ggod as expected. There are a lot of pinholes and some low spots. Still soma sanding to do. Next time I will also change primer, this one is from an car parts store but I have one which should also fill the smaller holes but I will have to shhot it with the paint gun. To try to solve the pinholes problem I painted a thin layer of pure epoxy on the horizontal stabilizer tips. We'll see how it looks tomorrow. Working time on this subpart Today : 2h (Total : 44h) |
