I’m not a painter but it doesn’t look too bad. I’m afraid to take it out into the sun as you’ll see all my mistakes.

Next comes the Diana Creme stripe down the side.

The STC for the fabric says if you’re painting your airplane a red or yellow to put on a base coat of white Polytone. That’s done. So I’ll let it outgas for a few days and spray the maroon. The last photo is just a before white paint shot.

That’s the last of the instrument replacements for now. The others can wait for a while.

The original tach was faded and hard to turn so I replaced it. And if you remember from a previous post it had a radium dial so I could not send it in to be repaired. Notice the range markings and the correct tach time for this airplane; 996.5 Total Time.
