Once again, thanks for the replies. 

Bud: What I did two years ago to prime the wings was exactly what you describe
(and you can see in the picture). And it worked well. I did use another sawhorse
at the aileron location and a piece of 2x4 into the aileron well. 

I have learned the technique to paint on vertical surfaces, and you have to with
the fuselage anyway, so not too bad. It is just a bit more stressful because
there is such a miniscule line between a little too dry and sagging (but not
run). Imron and Durathane were a little more thixotropic  in that regards and
held up better. The paint I am using is a bit unforgiving. But I got it, albeit
with a slight dry application.

Pete: I thought about figuring a way to mount the wing cantilever. It would be
great but require a bit of weight to keep balanced. I think I am just going to
do the vertical painting. But curious to learn what people have done to do this.
