Finally, the painting process has begun. The horizontal stab. is the first part to get the House of Kolor Kandy Apple treatment. I will be taking the stab through the complete process first just to make sure there are no surprises. It is the only part that is all kandy apple red. The colors being used are apple red, teal, gold and white.
The stab is mounted to a $31 engine stand from the aircraft division of Harbor Freight. The stab has the first coat of primer. Next will come minor body work and a final coat of primer followed by a metallic sealer followed by the high metallic gold base coat followed by the kandy apple red followed by the clear coat. Yeh I know, a lot of paint but just wait till you see it in the sun!
My Catto prop was delivered last week and Craig painted the "swooshes" on the tips in my kandy apple red and teal.
