wing skin question

Greetings all,

I have what might be a silly question regarding the top right wing skins. I have noticed that there is a 'shiny' side of the skin and a 'brushed' side of the skins. My left wing, as well as the leading edge skins on both sides, have the 'shiny' side of the skin to the top or exterior surface.

However, the top skins on the right wing were punched with the 'brushed' side to the top or exterior. Other than appearance while unpainted, do we have an issue here or is all ok?

Thanks for your comments,

Jim

Other than appearance there is no difference in either side of the skins. Not all skins will look "two-sided" either. Most will be all shiny, occasionally the whole thing will be slightly dull.

Thanks Guy. I figured that was the way it is but since it was bugging me I thought I would ask. Now I can put that to rest and get it out of my head.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.

Good!

Sometimes this site can help you sleep at night.

Sometimes it keeps you up.

All in all both of those could be good things.

Did anyone see that pony go by............:rolleyes:
