Blasted intake tubes, painted parts | 2.20.2021 - 2.21.2021

Sand blasted the nose wheel rim, fork, and two of the intake tubes for the engine. The other two intake tubes got dropped off to a more competent welder. :)

Freshly blasted.

I then took a *really* long time cleaning these out and prepping everything for paint. Since none of this is critical or really even has to look good from 10 ft, I rattle-canned it. These all use the same blue as the engine mount. May as well get more creative than "Lycoming Gray".

Convenient outdoor painting rack.

Convenient indoor drying rack.

The finish on all of these came out actually way better than I could have hoped. Probably because I pre-heated both the parts and the spray can.

Well, that's it for now!
