Oshkosh might slow me down a bit but it's all fun
I'm envious, nice set up. Looks like this isn't your first rodeo.
on my wish list is one of those magnifying units.....
I have been playing with wires on aircraft ever since learning the basics at NAS Millington back in 84
Be careful with them magnifying things it seems that the more you use them the more you really need them
Start fan on high an hour before painting, the turn fan down during painting(moves dust before you paint). Fast fan should have moved the dust. Also hang parts vertically or top DOWN(good side)
I think I need more fan to do that. The fan I have blows in through the filter. Maybe I should have one blowing out also
I'll try it
Where did you purchase the paint booth?

Got the Paint booth together Now I get to spray some Paint
I seem to have a hard time with dust. I guess I just need to clean better before spraying

I have found that a 1/4" stripe separating the black and white or whatever your two colors are enhances the look, adding about a million bucks to the visual wow value. An alternate method is to leave 1/4" of the base light color separating the dark from the stripe. The third color should be a tone in between the two major colors which sort of softens the difference.I was thinking of adding another stripe with some color just behind the Black leading edge but the more I look at this the more I want to leave it as is.

This build looks great. I like the idea of the portable building as the paint booth. I will need to do something like that myself.
. This one is 20’ X 13’ was on sale at the home improvement store. Would be nice if it was bigger, really tight in their moving around the fuselage.
I like aluminum fittings and used them 100% on my Cub. Piper used rubber hose with a clamp on each end. If the clamp isn't tight there is the possibility of a leak. Rubber hose can deteriorate so when the connection is in a blind area there will always be some doubt.
This is what I have.100% aluminum fittings? How did you hookup the tanks and sight gauges? Got any pictures
That was a poor choice of color for the background plate on the fuel gauges. I just grabbed a rattle can off the shelf. One of these days I'll slip something lighter behind the sight tube. The tube is just a length of plastic tubing from the hardware store.
I too have the sight gauges from either Javron or TCOW. These are new never used if anyone is interested. My kit was made by both companies, so I'm not sure where the fuel gauges came from. No matter, I could not get them to fit to my satisfaction so elected to go with the clear tubing, keeping it attached to the wing. In lieu of an interior panel I used clear plexiglass. The fittings in the tank are AN840.
The fuel feed lines are hard connected to the tank. There is a long (either 4" or 6" ??) brass nipple screwed into the tank. An AN916 elbow is connected to the nipple, then an AN816, An818 and AN819 to the flared tubing. No rubber hoses at all.
With the clear plexiglass interior panel I can see everything at any time so there will be no surprises.
