Priming interior parts

Primed a bunch of interior parts.

One of the covers for the flap actuator tunnel got a little dinged up when I drilled this relief notch for the flap actuator pivot bolt. So, I filled it with a little bit of epoxy...

...and sanded it smooth after it cured.

Took the flap actuator and the diagonal member to which it mounts out of storage in order to clean it up and prep for priming. By the way, this is the bolt for which a clearance notch was needed on the prior part.

Primed more interior parts.

Then got around to painting some of the parts which were primed yesterday. Here are the window retaining strips.

A baggage side cover, now painted.

More parts painted. These look like shit. Very disappointing. Maybe they'll be bette once the paint dries.

With the cool temps in the shop, I decided to help the drying process. In they go into the oven at 200 F.
