Paint Prep

G. Jezarian Fine Jewelry will soon have its distinguished livery on the Swift DB-4 as she’s disassembled and prepared for paint work. The combination of materials which need prep-work include fiberglass coachworks, a carbon fiber monocoque and both aluminum and composite wings.

Each piece will be stripped of excess paint to save weight and subsequently reinforced in the areas requiring attention. The rear engine cowl in particular requires stiffening and contouring while both front noses and wing assemblies (high and low downforce) will be fitted properly to the nose box before they’re brought into the spray-booth and painted.
