The progression from beginning to remove paint through bare aluminum to primer to paint.  

This is just one piece. This process was completed for the cowling, doors, side panels, both elevators, horizontal Stab, rudder, vertical stab, wing Struts, nose bowl, and trim pieces. 

Applying the top color means it’s that much closer to being finished. The fabric, wings, and engine are left. 

First photo is of the finished elevator.
