Regardless of what type of aircraft you own, these techniques should give you an idea on how to repair/refresh your interior panels!
Thank you for watching, and be sure to join me on my next video!

Very nice work Perry!! You're inspiring me to do the same. Those panel's and Kevin's yoke covers make it look awesome. Would like to see more on your door straps.

Next time I'm at the plane I'll get you pictures of the straps. It's a nice alternative until a suitable replacement comes around. I saw Paul Sterling mentioning he may be re-making the old door holders 👍

I need to use my Visa wrench and get you to do this for my Tommy. 😂 Looks awesome, great job!

I agree. He should be doing this as a business I bet there'll be a lot of Tomahawk owners will line up for his services!

Haha there's definitely a time/money balance where the Visa wrench is much easier!

The end result looks great! What drove the decision to try to chemically remove the previous spray job? Do you think the old coat would have impacted adhesion of the new?

@planeswithperry 5 ай бұрын

That's the exact reason. I could tell it was a very cheap spray paint that was used so I didn't want a reaction where there would be bubbling or poor adhesion of the new coating. If it was the original factory coating I would have been inclined to clean it really well without removing.

Dude! Just found your KZfaq channel and wanted to thank you for this video. I've been thinking of doing the same to our 77 Grumman Tiger AA-5B. I think I'm going to give this a go! Excellent work, eh!

Awesome! I hope the video gave you some good ideas. It feels good to get in my plane and see how it all turned out....and repairing the existing panels is a way cheaper venture than replacing them all. Tigers seems like they are great aircraft - happy flying! 👍
