Bob: From a shop stand point, you want to accomplish all the mod work
prior to doing the pain work. We had a client that always, and I mean
always! had us do the paint work before everything else on his
aircraft. It took three times as much labor to do anything as you had
to carefully mask off and pad any area that you had to lean over or sit
on to get at the work area. Save yourself the time, aggrivation and
nerves and get all the work done first and then paint.

It will also save you some bucks in the end...

I'm a bit confused. Other than the wing root fairing, the speed mods
(flap hinge fairings, aileron and flaps and stab gap seals) seem to be
easily worked without leaning over or sitting on parts of the airplane.
Am I missing something?

Also, I thought it would be easier to strip and paint before the mods

and one more thing, I had thought about having the paint shop install
the mods... don't know if any do that though.

Thanks
