Painting inside the seatback lockers was always going to be a challenge due to their inaccessibility.
Stripping away the old paint was bad enough, but adding fresh was difficult. In a previous post I described my first attempt using an ordinary brush, which failed.
I then found that a foam roller was a good way to prime the back and forward walls and the floor, but it was not possible to cover the remainder.
I tried using a foam brush with the handle shortened, to get into the corners. This is it.
It didn't work very well, and made lots of mess.
I then tried using a sash brush to get into the corners, but that was not effective either.
Finally I hit upon the idea of using a foam pad to simply dab the primer on.
Here it is, with the sash brush.
The foam pad worked well! I applied four coats of primer and moved on to the next task. This is one of the lockers looking aft to the boom gallows pole support bracket.
You can see that the interior has been fully primed.
Only the front and back walls and the floor need to have a show finish, and they will be easy to sand for the gloss.
