Cessna 855 Re-Furbishment Part 3

The aircraft is re-masked covering all windows and wheels and the whole aircraft is chemically cleaned by abrasive pads using Ardrox 1074 removing all dirt and grease deposits within the aluminium frame and then wash off with fresh water and allowed to dry naturally

Once the airframe is dry a corrosion control inhibitor is applied allover the aircraft until a golden brown brown colour is achieved and after 3 -5 minutes ,the alocrom is washed off with fresh water and again allow to dry naturally.Most occasions an etch primer paint is applied instead of alocrom ,but both do the same corrosion prevention  of an aluminium frame.






Myself about to stir up the epoxy primer.I look fatter in the picture than i really am.SERIOUSLY !!!!

The following day all masking is removed and re-applied and 2 coats of epoxy yellow primer is applied to the whole aircraft.
