THATS INSAIN!

Who did the paint???

Must look GREAT in the air [X(]
Why Yes, Yes It Does Look Great In The Air! My partner (the master moulder) in this team effort is the artist as well, he chooses to remain private at least for now. He insisted on 2 weeks of sanding, filling, sanding, primering, sanding, filling, sanding, primering, sanding...etc...etc...etc... before paint day. Paint day itself was a 28 hour push working straight through, my main job was to hold a 3ft 2 bulb flourescent light fixture opposite him and the paint guns and keep moving to get sprayed as much as possible (If I ever put myself through that again I WILL be wearing the absolute best mask that money can buy). And then I had to go to work at my job........... MAAAAN that was a long day[sm=what_smile.gif]
Here is a little tidbit for you, his system is Deltron PPG and I did'nt even have to buy quite all of the concoctions involved because he had some stuff still stocked from years ago that he still trusted enough to use on our pride and joy, BUT at the paint shop I still spent $444.44 to paint a 40" x 40" airplane.
