The frames were painted with green zinc chromate primer. The fuselage was set in a trough and the paint was applied with a large hose much like watering the garden. Not much finesse there. Rand-o-plate dark green is a very nice match for the old zinc chromate primer. http://www.randolphaircraft.com/epoxyprimer.html |

Ok, So lets accept that it was dark green/black .. then what happened when they sprayed the yellow inside the cockpit. I am guessing that they did not mask the frame Also, it seems that approx instrument panel forward (interior) is black ..but what about the bracing tubes in front of the cockpit ? Yellow or black |

The entire fuselage inside and out was sprayed without windows. The entire inside and outside of the fuselage was the same color, tubes included. You are correct, nothing was masked. Floor and parts of the cabin sides had black applied following the yellow. |
