Aircraft painting
A quick question, it has been discussed before but i dont believe the firm answer i am after was included. What is the legislation around painting of an aircraft (certified) if you are not a lame or ame, but you are a pilot? Under schedule 8 it states - Application of preservative or protective materials. - as long as you have not disassembled primary structure. Is there anything stopping you from painting your aircraft if you were to have a lame remove anything you required removed and then after you had finished painting, reassembled and have the aircraft re weighed? I am not looking for people stories of how joe blogs painted his plane with a roller and dulux. I'm just after the facts.
