Cheap paint job

Most of the costs of painting is the prep work!!

If you dont mind flying a ugly airplane, start stripping it yourself a
piece at a time.
It can be a flying project. One wing per weekend.
If you do this, you are going to need the correct stripper to do a good
job.
Don't go to Home Depot to get stripper, it doesn't work worth Sh$t. Go
to the airplane store and get real stripper or go to some of the quality
automotive paint stores and get stripper that will work with the paints
like Imron.
As always, you will want to power wash the plane after each stripping as
stripping stuff will corrode if left in the seams.

When your finished, you may like the look of a shinny aluminum airplane!

Or have someone paint it at that point.

If you are going to use IMRON, you MUST, REPEAT, MUST wear full body
protection with the minimum of a pressure hood.
Spraying IMRON in an enclosed area without this protection will KILL you.
IMRON and others paints of this family contain cyanide which is absorbed
through the exposed skin.
This is very serious stuff and requires knowledge, respect and
understanding of the material.
