Tom Knauff sent out email about doing a bulk shipment of gliders to
Europe for refinishing. The cost (including shipping) is way better
than what you'll ever see here in the US. I asked the guys at
Gehrlein's how much they'd charge to refinish my Std Cirrus: $25K,
which is just ever so slighty above the purchase price
You should contact him if you are interested (and can be without your
glider for that period of time).
