Scroll down to 'Replacement Fiberglass *Tail Cone' section.
Metco's fiberglass parts are first rate quality.

Thanks for the link!

The repaint can't be all that bad. We had a custom paint job on old
wheelpants accurately duplicated onto a set of new ones by a local
auto paint & body shop for only a couple hundred dollars materials &
labor.

All the stripes on the plane (3 different colors) are on that tail cone,
plus the base coats of gray and white. * What a PIA to do, but I'm afraid it
will have to be done.

Jay, you might want to try and take your broken tail tip and your new
tail tip to a shop that paints motorcycle helmets or to an airbrush
guy and have them paint the new one to match the old one. I'm not
sure if anyone else had suggested this, I haven't read the entire
thread yet, the part about the 'in-op' sticker is interesting.

Not having ever owned an airplane and looking into owning one in the
future, I found your write up a good read,
