What was the all up total. Did they clear coat the whole plane with that silver? Thanks. Byron.

14k + 1,000 for metallic paint, + 1200 for complex striping.
Its a single stage paint so no clear topcoat. They will happily do that but you will loose 12 lbs useful load with the clearcoat weight. 24 lbs per gallon paint weight 50% adhesion rate.
I chose to keep the useful load.

Wow the quote I have for a similar scheme as I got was 20k. What kind of paint did they use? Acry glo? It looks really nice. Let's meet up and compare them sometime. I'm in pearland.
Mod ypu know how long it took them to do it? I have a friend with a rocket who wants silver base metallic plus stripes and I don't think hawk metallics are very good.

They used the rebranded DuPont Imron. Called Axalta or something like that. Plan on 4-6 weeks downtime depending on squawks once the plane is down to bare metal. They include 8 hours of shop time in price for squawks but materials are extra.
