Way back when…<\/p>\n

I decided that instead of covering the pillars and fresh air plenum, that I would paint them.\u00a0 Since Ann was in charge of picking colors for the inside, I gave her some different options on paint and she picked one. I then obtained the pull handles for the A-Pillars and proceeded to install the handles and paint the interior parts.<\/p>\n

Since paint manufactures sometimes stop producing a particular color of paint, I bought a supply in case I needed to repaint.\u00a0 The results were great.\u00a0 It was a textured paint which hid flaws nicely and dings or scrapes didn’t show very much.<\/p>\n

Interior painting.<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we got the seats covered.\u00a0 And given that the sample material was kind of small, Ann missed the color match by just a bit.\u00a0 Then after she spoke with Justin about the interior, she broke the news to me:\u00a0 The interior color would have to be changed.\u00a0 And the color they selected wasn’t available in a textured finish.<\/p>\n

So it was time to get to work.<\/p>\n

One of the vents for the rear seats couldn’t be removed.\u00a0 I was going to tape it off but I noticed that it wasn’t closing. so I created an access panel (more work) and removed it.\u00a0 I contacted Aveo Engineering and explained that while I had purchased these vents over 6 years ago that they had only been in use for about 1 years. They sent me a replacement at no charge!<\/p>\n

Then it was sanding, filling, sanding, filling, etc. It was much harder this time since a) the plenum was already installed and not on a bench and b) the plane was not upside down so the overhead parts weren’t on the floor.<\/p>\n

But after much work, it was done.<\/p>\n

One thing I’m not happy about are the A-Pillar pull handles.\u00a0 I painted them because I couldn’t find any at the junkyard in the right color. I’ll keep looking.<\/p>\n

While all this was going on, I also made some changes to the switch panels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
