Grumman 17 SCOUT 12 Sep 18 Side Paint

12 Sep 18:

TS Gordon come and gone, landfall around Gulfport MS. 6 inches of rain, 35 mph peak wind.


Safe to paint again. Sprayed the sides of SCOUT with Rust-Oleum Anodized Bronze and Sand colors. Feathered the edges. This will be an experiment, not sure how the paint will stick to the aluminum long term.




Used some photos as a reference to free hand the shark's teeth. Painted the first coat with Kirby Paint White.


SCOUT was one of the early Grumman 17s built in Marathon, mid 1950s we're thinking, based on the serial number.
