I know most folks finish, fly, log the 40 etc prior to painting...i just need someone to explain that to me. My plan is to paint a "jet glo" or similar all white paint, with some modern decals put down the side, blue and grey.... eventually. Anyway, while the qb wings are coming together nicely...i look at them and think, man its got to be a ton easier to paint that before mounting. I am not expecting absolute perfection and I know there will be a few touch ups and inspections etc...but...wouldnt sanding, prime and a nice coat of white make sense once I have them basically ready to hang and had preclose inspection done? Same with tail...just asking. I read a post somewhere about waiting...just dont know why. I would buy adequate paint of same batch for all and not paint until i knew the rest would be painted within a few months. Of course paint kept from freezing etc. Any suggestions welcome. Needing a aircraft facility with room for a plane and paint booth at an airport cant be cheap, and i would think auto quality smaller paint booths would do a as good if not better job. Just asking, I am a long way away...but just dreaming about the finished product. ![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
