As part of my job role in Riyadh ,i was tasked to strip and re-paint a former RSAF Cessna 172 M
813 for display as a gate guardian at the KFAA Air base in Riyadh.as my previous post says i am going through step by step from start to finish ,various stages in a aircraft re-spray.
Step 1
The whole aircraft is masked up with aluminium paper and tape to prevent paint stripper damaging delicate areas such as windows and fiber glass panels.Then paint stripper is applied by air assist pumps over the whole aircraft and various levels are scrapped off and lagged up again with stripper until all paint is removed and diluted with water as seen below.
