If you are planning to paint before you fly, I'd suggest doing the paint =
first.
I'm flying in primer so my upholstery is done already. I plan to paint =
after the 40 hours is done. I did this because I figured I'd have to =
put a shim in to fix a heavy wing, but luckily, mine is flying straight!
Course you could fly without finish both interior and out - I've seen =
several done this way.

Subject: REFLECTOR:What's first, paint or upholstery?
I had an upholsterer stop by to talk about doing my airplane and the =
question arose as to what's first, paint or upholstery. The issue was =
the door (old unidoor). The headliner material would come up to the =
edge of the channel that mates with the gasket on the fuselage. I =
assume that the channel would be painted so it would be best to paint =
first. Comments please, there are probably other issues.=20
Thank You,=20
