With the firewall riveted, I started in yesterday on the F-705 rear spar carrythrough bulkhead. First order of bidness was to hit some of the previously-primed parts with a coat of the interior color – Sherwin Willams JetFlex WR “Pepperdust”. The only parts I painted were the bulkhead top and seat stops, since it’ll be difficult to paint under some of those parts once they’re assembled. JetFlex WR (water reducible) goes on kinda rough, but smooths out nicely when dry. And it’s a whiz to clean up after painting – just use water!

Here’s the bulkhead top with seat stops riveted on after painting…

…and here’s the whole bulkhead with most of the rest of the rivets set. I’ll have a few rivets remaining to do, but I can get those in between other work.
