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!).
