Just a reminder that your back breaking work stripping paint didn't go unnoticed ...

Looks great and thank you for the updates. How many gallons of primer and how many gallons of paint will it take to paint her??

Sorry Lynn, saw this the other day before going to work and forgot to respond and then have been having issues with the forum the last few days.

I'm not sure what the total is yet that we used, but I can say that we over estimated what we would need. Between the primer, various colors and prep solution, we got over 60 gallons of supplies. Each box holds two gallons of paint and two gallons of hardener, except for the boxes with the prep.

The olive drab has been completely sprayed over the entire plane. The controls previously reported as being paint will have to have the OD painted as they were mistakenly painted with the Forrest green accent color. I'm holding off posting those photos as there are so many, I'm just going to make a video. The grey still has to be painted but that is on hold as the plane is now outside so our C-123 can be annualed.
