Molecular Tech Coatings EMS-2500

Well, we ain't seen the cost yet. It may be $150/gal. I'm interested cuz
the next paint job I do on the Cherokee will need a strip. I got away
with a DIY scratch and paint last time. Next time I will definitely take
pictures too.

Yeah, I've got an email in to the company for a price quote for 10
gallons of the stuff... It could be gods gift to painting... if its not
cost-competitive, its not worth it.

FWIW, Aircraft Spruce listed STAZ-WETT (which seems to be the same
stuff, or at least, the Review of the EFS stuff lists the STAZ-WETT
website) for 58 bucks a gallon...

580 for a stripped plane, if its as easy as advertised, is worth it...
1500 for the same thing? I'll just pay for a pro to do it, thank you.

If you really want to strip it yourself, you will need to do that at the
paint shop for a multitude of reasons. You may be able to get the shop
to let you do the crud work in the back corner to save money. But their
insurance company will likely not allow it.

Yeah, finding a paint shop who will be willing to paint after I strip
is a pretty big issue... I am NOT equipped (or skilled enough with
paint) to do a satisfactory job.

One of my on-field A&Ps actually does have a painting bay he uses for
touch-up work, but he doesn't offer full painting services... I am
going to talk to him to see if he'd be willing to put on the paint
coats for me for actual labor cost if I do the prep work. That would
have tha added advantage of I wouldn't need to fly her anywhere, and I
could go ahead an mask off the new custom paint scheme I designed.

Its a fun pipe-dream... probably not feasible though.
