I had to re-spray the tail wheel doors as I found that the paint had very little "key to the plastic", I found out when I was doing the main gear doors etc........alot was just flaking off after the cutting etc.
These are a few photo's of my set up :

Great job. Are you using the Robart actuator? Your cycle speed is about 4 or 5 times faster than my setup which is using the Robart actuator.
