You may leave some interior areas unrestored but they must be as received. The work need not conform to airworthy standards. The contractor shall prepare the surface of each aircraft for painting by removing any loose paint, sanding the surface (as needed), cleaning the surface, and coating the surface with a corrosion preventative prior to application of the final finish coat.

Do not mix markings from a variety of aircraft, i.e. using the nose art from one aircraft, the serial number of another and unit codes from a third. Ensure historical accuracy in the placement and style of markings being applied, keeping in mind the "window" or "moment" of history you are representing. Fully document the markings being applied to static display aircraft.

3.2.3 The static aircraft topcoat painting is required to match the original color. The contractor shall paint the aircraft with Direct to Metal primers and paints. The use of urethane paint is prohibited due to environmental impact and the inability of urethane paint to provide a long-term uniform pleasing appearance.
