C: Painting: The order of assembly and painting is a back-and-forth process of test-assembly, marking, painting, and final
assembly. There are three things to keep in mind as you do this:
1. The quality of your paint job depends on sanding after the first coat, and sanding is easiest and best while the parts are
un-assembled.
2. Glue doesn't stick to paint. It does, however, stick to a part that has been first-coated and sanded. For this reason, parts
that will be the same color can be glued together after one coat and sanding, but before the second coat of paint is applied.
3. Where different colored parts will be glued to each other, the neatest result will be achieved if the parts are marked
and painted to just cover the mark, leaving the rest of the joint un-painted. That way, when they are glued together, the glue
joint will have wood for strength (glue doesn't stick well to paint), and the joint between colors will be perfect (impossible
to achieve with masking for painting).
Lined Up
In the photo above, the Rear Roof is used as a straight-edge
for checking that the Stairs are straight as the glue dries.
