Default fuselage refinish - one shot or two?

Very clever, Hank...........I have been hoisting the fuselage up and then lowering the main and tail wheels onto pedestals with a beam clamped at wing cut-out to the wall. The external hoist strap was then removed. I would slide along on a creeper to spray the underside, but I was always terrified of accidentally bumping something and have the whole thing come crashing down!

I first saw a similar rig at Richard Kellerman's garage when they were doing a glider. My contribution to the solution is the $99 Harbor Freight back saver hoist that lets me do a lot of stuff solo, like lift and move an ASK-21 fuselage.
RAS is good for something.
