If the Aviation Consumer reviews of Maule planes are any indication,
odss are good that it wasn't painted properly. That has been
consistently cited as a problem with Maules.

Any Maule older than 1996 will not have been painted properly and any Maule made
in 1997 or '98 may not have been (Belford had odd ideas on the matter and the
factory used up old stocks of paint after he died in '95). The only question is
whether an older Maule has been repainted and, if so, how good that job was.
