6.9 Overhead Fresh Air Plenum Painting

This entry is part 35 of 42 in the series 06 - Fuselage

Many builders cover the A & B pillars and overhead fresh air plenum. I decided to follow Andy Millin’s example and and use paint for those surfaces. He used a satin finish on his plane.  But the amount of finish work required to get a good result was rather daunting.  So I selected a texture that did a much better job at hiding sins.

So after very little finishing work I sprayed the plenum. The results were very nice.
