Step 18: Painting the hatch

Step 18: Painting the hatch

You’ll be sealing and painting the outside skin and all the edges that have a possibility of getting exposed to the elements. You could paint the inside surfaces of the hatch too if you like, but it’s not necessary. Use the same painting procedure as you used on the body, including putty, sanding, CPES and Uniflex 255.
The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...

Love the plans! Thanks so much for taking the time to draft everything up.

Perhaps I missed it, but were were the directions for preping/painting the exterior?

You're too quick. I haven't written them up yet...
