Montmollin Painting dudes

15 Dec 2004 Montmollin Painting dudes

Here’s a picture of the guy that runs the paint shop I used here in Montmollin. He’s done all my priming and the interior. The exterior will probably be done at a regular aviation paint shop in either Prague or Lezignan-Corbieres

Another shot of the paint booth. These are apparently pretty standard in this business. I thought they “burned” the fumes before they are ejected into the atmosphere, but no, they just filter. Kind of strange, and dangerous, if you ask me.

Here is a picture of my “paint window” in my workshop. I have two windows, and with the heaters on, and both windows open, there is a lot of air flowing out this window. I put on the respirator, shake up the cans, and start spraying. About 15 minute later, all the fumes are out. No filter here, either. Bad.

Notice the high tech piece of wood with wire to hold the parts.
