If you look closely you can see four wheel pant pieces and a gear leg fairing. The other gear leg fairing is drying in the paint booth.

I am very happy with the paint job on these pieces! I hope the red and blue go on as well.

Learning how to thin the Superflite paint is the key to a nice finish. I have found that thinning it 100% works great. I usually mix up 8 oz. of paint and catayst, and then thin it with 8 oz. of thinner. This is for a 100 degree day though like it's been here for the last week. Normally I thin it about 65 - 70%.

This is the square corner that I re-fiberglassed. They say this hobby is about recreation and education...I'm definitely getting the education part. Before this I had no idea how to work with fiberglass.
This is just a shot showing the fairing that's blended into the wheel pant. The images are not great quality-they were taken from my iPhone.
