Canopy Side Skirt Fitting

Worked on fitting and painting the canopy side skirts today.  These have to be painted on the inside due to their visibility in the cockpit.

First is to countersink the front 5 holes of the frame.

They have you bend the skirt to match the contour of the bubble and frame.  I rolled it around a spray paint can.

Dimple the front 5 holes for 120 degree flush rivets.

Then I painted them with the Rustoleum Hammered Brown paint that I am going to use on the interior.
