Monday, the black paint went on the S-IC/S-II unit. After it dries and cures (and I’m able!), the next step will be to mask and unmask and otherwise prepare to paint the silver on the S-IC fin fairings. After that:

• Unmask the S-IC/S-II
• Touch up the S-IC/S-II and the Interstage/S-IVB-IU units.
• Mask the SM radiators (and the LSA), and paint the SM silver; unmask the SM and the LSA.
• Paint the RCS motors, mask the motor bodies, paint the motors, unmask the RCS motors, install on SM.
• Paint the nose of the launch escape rocket.
• Make necessary repairs in the fins (resin mold flaws), prime and paint the fins.
• Prepare the recovery system.
• Apply decals
• Add EVA handrails to the SM.
• Apply a clear coat.

Lots to do, but the end is in sight!
