I’ve been waiting to paint the interior until the fuse is in the hangar and I have a little space to work. My hangar partners had their Archer outside for awhile, so now was a good time for painting.

I spent a lot of time masking and prepping the interior, then thinned some JetFlex WR interior paint and started shooting. I can’t say I’m 100 percent happy with how the JetFlex came out – there are some areas where the finish is a little rough – but it’s not bad enough to justify stripping it and reshooting.

Once done, I pulled the fuse outside and set our seats and shoulder harnesses in the cockpit to get an idea of how the colors match in bright light. Everything looks good.
