Peter,

As for painting the floorboards in the baggage area, I don't think it's necessary. I sealed all areas that hydraulic fluid could get on, which is mainly the floor. Most of the interior gets covered by upholstery or carpet.

With that said, Ron Jones has painted and bodyworked most everything and his Legacy and it has to be seen. It's one of the nicest I know of.

Hope that helps,
Don Barnes
