M&M Paint Colors from New York

The girls (Paula, Shelby and Dean) went to New York for a "bucket list" trip. Paula and Shelby have been but Dean (Gma) had never seen the Big Apple. Here, they're in Central Park. Notice the jackets? It was 100 degrees back in Texas.

Here's what Paula brought me for a gift. It's the closest she could find in M&M's to the colors I plan on painting the RV. Nice of her to think of me and the airplane and chocolate at the same time.

Priming

Started priming the ribs and braces tonight. Weather was perfect for painting; 75 degrees with low humidity. Very happy with the results. Only problem I had was identifying the ribs. I marked them with a vibrating pen but it turned out that the primer is thicker than the marks. I could just barely see all but one pair and I had to remove the primer to see which was left and which was right. I turned the pen up to a higher setting for the next marks.

I'm using Napa's 7220 self etching primer. I first prepped the parts with a maroon scotchbrite pad and followed with a good wipe down with MEK.
