Interesting question! My Navion hasn't been painted in 53 years, so
she's going into the shop in early April for a new coat. I asked exactly
that, since I had originally intended to do the entire job myself. Lack
of space and time nixed that idea. When I proposed stripping the old
paint myself, the universal reply was "go ahead, but we're going to do
it again anyway to make sure it's up to snuff. You won't save any money,
and you'll waste a lot of time".

I'm looking at a 172 that's been stripped and needs to be painted. Anyone
know of a good midwestern paint shop? Any ideas how much painting a plane
that's already been stripped would cost?

Thanks!
