Once the ceiling panels were up it was time for the lower skins to be installed.
The lower skins needed to be stripped of many coats of paint and glue.
Paint stripper followed by harsh sanding was the preferred method to clean the panels.
The stripping process and hard sanding left the lower panels devoid of any paint.
The sanding marks were visible but will be covered by new paint.
The plan is to use Zolatone Flex roll-on paint plus a primer.
The paint should hide all the imperfections very well.
After several days all of the panels were installed.
During these steps all of the pop rivets that hold the ceiling in place were replaced with a larger 3/16 inch pop rivet for better service. The lower panels were also attached with 3/16 inch pop rivets.
