Finally my roller is getting wet.

After more prep and sanding work, I’m ready for the undercoat. I did go for a grease and wax remover and then a tack rag as final prep before the paint. The data sheets have you use a special detergent wash and a LOT of water. I’m not OK with hosing down the wing at this stage of the game.

This is what I’m using. Its a high build undercoat and there will be a lot of sanding and fine filling work later before the topcoat.

Yes I am rolling it on.

More fun than spray gear and given I’m sanding it all later the finish is more than adequate.

As a 6 foot paint job (looks good from 6 feet away) I’d call this done! …as I’m going for another colour and a topcoat and maybe a 1 foot paint job, it has barely begun.

Looks good for now, Tomorrow its back to sanding.
