They are not completely finished with the striping, but are very close. They manually strip all areas that have seams that could leak chemical striper into the interior. Those areas are taped off and then striped by hand. The cone section of the tail is also manually striped because it has plastic components and chemical could easily get into the air induction tube.
In case you are wondering, the guys are installing the Micro Aerodynamics Vortex Generators. I will write more about these later, but they greatly help the low-speed handling characteristics of the airplane while improving lift and efficiency of the wing. Outside of speed brakes, vortex generators are one of the best performance/safety systems you can add to a high-performance machine like 252Q.
