Hi Allen et all...
One of the chaps at our small airport preped his
aircraft and then went downtown and talked to one of the painters at the local
autobody shop. He "rented" the services of the painter and his
equipment on his off hours. He also bought the paint from the company direct as
well. Although he had a hanger perhaps you could find someone who could "rent"
one to you for a few days. He used vinyl graphics for the registration and
details. He allso used a basecoat/clearcoat on
his aircraft and it looks great.
I had contemplated taking the wings off my coupe
and trailering it all downtown (about 10 kms) to the local auto refinisher for a
spray after I had her prepped. Fortunately most of the painters in my town are
ex Air Force and know how to refinish an aircraft. Big problem with auto body
places prepping an aircraft is that they are sometimes too agressive in the prep
and end up shaving the heads off rivits thus making the aircraft unairworthy.
Best to prep yourself and let them spray.
I recently used Endura with an epoxy primer
on my nosebowl and cowls and I am very happy with the way it turned
out.
Hope this gives you some help.
Cheers
