You are going to want to address the delam on the back of the cockpit prior
to painting. There are a number of suitable cross bonding products to re
secure and seal that joint. If your painter is unaware of any I’d be
skeptical about having him go further with painting. I assume the paint
facility is also a body repair facility?
