This paint is a joint effort between myself and Fireball6 who is working on the interior.
INTRODUCING JUNK YARD DOG.

Theres a certain excitement; a sense of adventure, wondering when ( not if ) the wings will fall off.. :;lol:; its looking great. :) :)
 
Nice paint! It reminds me of this great scene from the movie "Fandango". Think this was a C-182 though. If you read the credits at the end of that movie, you learn that the Confederate Air Force did the flying.

 
Talk about airplane abuse :isadizzy: But it does look like fun and a dirt cheap rental, literally. :applause:

I hate to put a damper on proceedings but after 40+ years of working with or being around metals I have yet to see orange 'rust' on alumin(i)um! It just doesn't happen. :icon_lol:

You could have green or yellow showing for the zinc chromate primer or grey/white for the oxidized alumin(i)um but you would only ever see orange on iron or steel.
