| Dad started early cleaning some more of the parts for priming. | 
|
| I then started the etching process. This is all a little early for me.... not a morning person. | 
|
| Parts on the frame ready for priming. | 
|
| Priming the remaining RHS parts. The technique is slowly being refined. By end of the day I might know roughly what I'm meant to do..... | 
|
| Then we went up the roads to the professionals to collect the sprayed parts. | 
|
| The finish is really good. They used a etch and two part proxy primer. The finish is smooth, hard, even and very light. | 
|
| Then it was back home to the left hand side parts. Normal deal degrease, etch and prime with rattle cans. | 
|
| Whilst cleaning I realised the aft spar for the elevator trim hadn't been countersunk so I fixed that. | 
|
| The spars and long parts ready to prime. | 
|
| Dad did most of the afternoon spraying as we were beginning to run short on rattle cans. | 
|
| All the primed parts ready for assembly. To this point we used 5 rattle cans (400g each). Today has been a really successful day and we are ready to start assembly tomorrow. |
