Started painting wheel pants for real

Flight Time: 5.0 hours ... Total Engine Time: 0.0 hours

Build Time: 0.0 hours ... Analysis Time: 0.0 hours

Decided to paint the fiberglass parts of the plane for real. Bought $200 worth of 'Varthane' paint - an imitation Imron paint. Stripped old spray can epoxy paint off of wheel pants with paint stripper - not really recommended on fiberglass. There was some damage to the f/g which I patched along with the other scratches and stuff.

Reinforced the wheel pants where they attach to the steel bracket. Ground off the corners of brackets to keep them from poking at the pants.
