I have a great 201 and I have put a lot into it. My a/c has hail damage that was so subtle, it took me years to really notice it. One day, the light reflected on the airframe the right way and it all became vivid. The airframe is over 4000 hours, the a/c had owners all over the country and it sat outside for years. Much has been repaired. My paint is 15 year old jet glow and is starting to flake. Bad paint, getting old. Since refinish will be in the future, my questions are:
1) Is there any other remedy for light hail damage (wings, fuselage) other than skin replacement or bondo filler?
2) Is there any other alternative to bondo that is reliable and will last on an aluminum airframe? Is there any newer, better filler technology?
3) What is the best paint system? I understand Imron has made a comeback. Is this true?
Best,
John
