My 1977 M-5-235 needs to be recovered. The zinc-chomate on the steel tubing has mostly flaked off. I anticipate stripping down to the tubes, blasting the frame clean, epoxy prime on the frame, then recover and paint.
Would like a discussion of things to watch for, things to
add or subtract while that deep into the airplane. Is there any way to avoid removing the intrumental panel? Is there a simple way to remove the intrument panel? A way to remove it as one unit ?
I'd like to hear comments on the various recover fabric systems. Favorite paints and finishes.
Thanks,
recover and paint
