Lets paint an airplane.

Mark Conner and Jeff are painting the plane at Green Valley Body Shop. I'm doing as much of the grunt work as I can.  Chris is helping as well. Mark runs a body shop and is the president of the Flying Country Club, a local flying club located at Moline, IL (MLI).  Mark has painted a couple of the club planes and has done a great job with those.

The front room of was originally intended as a show room but it's empty and makes a great place to work on an airplane.  It's out of the way of the normal business but is attached to the remainder of the building and the small parts and wings can be easily moved around to paint/prime/work on, etc.  Jeff primed the fuselage in the front room while the wings were moved to the paint booth.  When we actually paint, we'll wheel everything into the booth for painting.
