Early August I flew VFR on top from Baraboo to Emporia Ks. Had to go as high as
13000 feet to stay on top. Underneath the clouds their was forecast areas of
IFR.

Keith,
Spray painting is somewhat of an Art. You can have a perfectly adjusted
paint gun and a proper ratio of paint to thinner and the experienced painter
will make it look like a million dollars while the beginner,,,, well you
know. Thankfully your fuselage only needs good coverage and not a
Championship paint job. Consider it practice for the much more demanding
painting to come.
My perspective Keith I.
