Painting the fuselage interior (part 1)
This step involves painting all parts of the interior that ARE NOT made of grey shiny Kevlar. It
does NOT include, however, the roof. The cockpits roof will be painted at later stage when the
cockpit is actually flipped upside down.
 First cover the front of the cockpit with plastic sheets. Spray the back of windscreen with
special bumper bar black paint from a distance of around 500mm to get the best
coverage and a slightly rough finish that doesn’t reflect. Use 2 coats, allowing a few
minutes to dry between each. It’s best to use two normal layers of paint rather than one
thick layer which can run
 Now mask the inside of the fuselage for painting. Paint with a brush using nitro black
paint. Pay special attention to the door lip and clean up with thinners if you have any
spillage.
