So I am into the build with the quick build wings. As I read about the process of assembly I believe I will need to remove the powder coating under the strut attach plates where they will be glued and riveted to the spar. Is this correct, I might have missed it but I did not read where this is to happen. If so what might be a good way to remove the coating with out effecting the other areas of the power coating? Also once the reinforcement plates at the wing root attach area are temporarily installed are these painted, can you see them after final assembly.

Thanks
