Default Interior paint

Don’t forget to sand everything to remove contaminants, the seat pan in particular is a reservoir for bodily fluids, sweat, tears and other bodily fluids. Recommend 80 grit sandpaper to give the surface good adhesion, flattened paint won’t show the sanding scratches. I often spray the metal controls in place with rattle-can paint, after I cover everything else with an old bed sheet with a small hole cut in the middle where the control protrudes. These metal parts often show some rust, Best to remove all rust by sanding or wire brush before spraying. Remove the stick grip, spoiler handle, flap handle, gear handle, etc before spraying, then re-spray them with their appropriate color before re-installing. Best to remove the canopy and cover the instrument panel before painting so that they aren't accidentally dusted with overspray.
Have fun,

Thanks JJ! Do you have any brands / suppliers you can recommend?
