Default why the disassembly?
Why did you have to take the canopy off and it looks like you removed the seats and cowl also. Are they going to paint your interior? I know another rv-6 guy based at Bult Field (Sanger Airport) near Monee Il who had his paint done there and he was very pleased with the result. And the plane still looks great after over 10 years. His only complaint was the paint weighed 40 lbs. Good Luck. Jim.

Thumbs up
Yes, we are having the interior repainted a lighter hunter green. We painted it during construction and now is all scraped upped.
