Yes, I've been watching this paint job with interest. I'm trying to get an updated photo for inclusion in the 5th edition of Final Cut. Looks good; surprised they paiinted the airplane with paint rollers...I think Home Depot guys helped them.

The reason for the rollers was an EPA memo / order telling the guy in charge of the detail, that using a spray compressor would be a violation of some sort

At least for the paint they were using.
