My gawd man! That is amazing fabric and paint work my friend!!!!

No wheres close to your level, but I stripped, prepped and painted a buddies cowlings for his LongEZ. Did it to help him out and to learn something new regarding composite aircraft. He was pleased so that is all that matters in my book.






Just tryin to learn a point or two so that whenever I am able to get around to working on our cars, I can do as much as possible.

On a side note, I did find a good example of the paint scheme I would want to shoot on FastMover-1…..[emoji6]
