slow progress touching up the interior. you cannot do much with the exterior until the interior is finished in my case. proseal at the fwd canopy edge took a long time to cure because it was old but now I am moving on. I primed the interior areas with ppg dplf with no acetone because dupont self etching primer will lift where it had been sanded thru if acetone is added as I discovered when painting other areas. without the acetone it worked fine. it will be interesting to see if the canopy scrape marks on the roll bar with be tougher with the ppg epoxy primer since the paint failed at the dupont self etching primer. no solvent pop this time. two coats and did not expose to sun like I did four years ago. the interior paint is imron polyurethane. since this was a pita job, I see value in simple rattle can paint for the interior that can be sprayed and touched up easily. this job came out nice this time and I managed somehow not pull a hose or step on wet paint. booth is working well. and I almost forgot to mention, baking the paint at 65F for a couple days. outside air temp -7C.
somehow I manage to lose the cover for my stick when priming. I should have taped it down. something to clean up afterward. did I mention painting the interior is a pita.
