In the tailcone plans, on page 08-02 (and other places) the instructions say to scuff the powder-coated hinge brackets if they will be painted later. This brought to mind a couple of questions:
1. Once the tail surfaces are closed up can you see them?
2. Would it make sense to just scuff and prime the mating surfaces and do the rest later as part of the overall preparations for painting?
I really don't want to scuff up that nice powder coat unless it serves a good purpose. I'm going to go look at some other RV's and see how it looks but was curious what other -14 builders are doing.
