Final coat of paint for the stripe on the door

Applied a second coat of paint on the stripe on the door for the airplane and any additional finishing touches. Placing the door in the frame of the airplane allowed me to assure that it was lined up with the stripe on the plane. I’ve also found that applying a thing coat of primer before applying the colored stripe helps keep the paint from bleeding under the tape. I’ve had to spend many hours going back over the white paint cleaning up where the green bled through. If only I had discovered this when I had started instead when I’m almost done with the project.
