Hi Linda

A few more questions to ask and get the answers in writing (I know you know 
that!).

1. Will the control surfaces be re-balanced when installed (legal requirement).
2. Any additional cost for addressing corrosion found after stripping?
3. Will the wing walks compound be removed and replaced with new?
4. Will any small dents or dimples be filled prior to painting? (You should 
carefully note all these locations prior to bringing it to the shop)
5. Will they paint the window bow (the metal strap which holds the windshield 
in place)?
6. When they repaint or reapply the N number, do you have a choice of fonts and 
styles?
7. I highly recommend you inspect their progress on a regular basis.  At the 
least, check it after the stripping to make sure ALL the paint has been removed 
from every nook and cranny.  Inspect it again after they tape off the design 
and make sure it is taped exactly like the design you provided to them.  

The chances are you will only paint your plane once in your time of ownership.  
Think really hard about the paint scheme and colors...you will have to live 
with it for a long time (similar to choosing a lover!).
