Hello, I need to replace the hinge stock on my RV6 Cowling.
My aircraft is painted and I would like to do the least amount of paint damage as possible.
I have plenty of experience removing rivets of all types on unpainted sheet metal but am worried about the damage on the painted surfaces - particularly the cowling. It looks like the rivet head were slightly filed over/primed prior to painting as the painted surface is smooth and the rivets not visible.
Thanks,
David
