Restoring an Old Spam Can -- To Strip or Not to Strip

I think he's referring to issues of legal liability for customer's aircraft.
Yeah, there are a ton of regs you have to deal with (especially here in
California), but I'd think the liability exposure would be relatively low.
Just guessing, though. Have to talk to an insurance company about this to
be sure.

Anyone know what the going rate for a paint job is these days? For
argument sake, white only, no trims.

aircraft paint over full strip down & paint
--------------------------------------------------------------
c150/2 ? ?
c172 ? ?
mooney ? ?
cherokee ? ?
other low wings ? ?

Just trying to see if I might get into this business. Always wanted
to be in the aviation business. Thought painting might be the one w/
the least liability.

Well don't think you will ever get much better then 10 - 20 thousand
for a paint job, if you mean just spray the paint on or just strip the
paint and spray that just doesnt' happen much, It requires and a & p
to paint (for good reason) but when you do a paint on an aircraft alot
of stuff gets done other then painting. removing of all the controls,
fixing rivits, repair of fairings, ect. So My point to you if you just
want to spray/strip planes not much money in that. figure about 40 -
80 labor time at 50 buxs for the striping and painting but for the
rest of the money its mostly RR and repair.
