Spraying!!!

Thought we'd just show you what Mark got up to during his last week at work. The Cessna 206 that he has been helping to fix had got to the point that it was ready to be sprayed before assembly. So the fuselage was wheeled into Hanger C and the spray-booth. After taping it all up, the interior was sprayed with a grey primer. This was then taped up ready for the exterior to be sprayed with a bright yellowie-green primer before it gets its white top coat. Below are some shots showing a few of the stages.
Ready and waiting for some paint!!
Looking down the tail section ... all nice and grey!!!
All shiny and new
Ready for its stripes

As this was his first time in the spray booth ... Mark didn't do any of the outside of the fuselage, but he had great fun doing the engine cowling (which was quite tricky with some nasty angles) and all the inspection panels & plates... see below.
