Couple of completion photos from the paint shop. Can’t wait to see it in the sunlight, as all four colors are metallic. Picking up this weekend!

Looks great!

Quick question: did you strip the powder-coated gear legs and paint them?
 
No, the paint shop sanded them, then primed and painted. I think that’s pretty standard practice when the powder coat is new and unmolested.
 
I really like the shot from the front. The wing artwork instantly made me think "butterfly"! Kudos to the designers and the implementers!
