Now that the model was whole again, I sanded off all the old decals and livery. A light coat of primer was used again to check for cracks and general smoothness of the model.

The model had the old American Airlines based silver paint scheme. I decided to update it to the more modern white/grey paint job now seen on the Shuttle Orbiter Carriers. After some thought, I figured it would be easier to paint the white first then mask for the grey bottom (plus it is better to paint the lighter colors first).
