New paint job...what do you think?

[Mooneymite]

I just got this new paint professionally applied.

Hopefully it will make my Mooney look better too.  

[DonMuncy]

Wow. I would kill for that!

[Mooneymite]

Thank you.

Cash, not killing required.

I hope you've put some good anti-collision and recognition lighting on it, you're plane is invisible!

How many AMU? I was looking at some epoxy kits at menards to do my 1200sq ft garage with.

They are just getting finished with the new hangers at Jack Edwards. I was hoping to have mine done down there...Don't know the locals well enough yet,  but hope to get my hanger epoxied before we bring the plane down. Looks very sharp and much easier to keep clean.

Good job, looks great!

I can’t decide which is better.  Mirror over the bed, or mirror under the mooney???

That's a secret I will carry to my grave...

My wife thinks it was an exhorbitant $500.  

The first floor paint was a disaster I hated for 20 (long) years.  I won't say how much the new floor was, but about half the cost was grinding off the old floor.

But....think how much I SAVED by having my own hangar for 20 years!

Actually....  she was in on the project from the beginning.  She hated the old floor as much as I did.

Note to all:  don't try to save a few bucks when you do your floor. An ugly floor will last a long time.

Does this mean use professionals or buy better materials?  Some jobs it pays to hire out.

man, that doesn't even look the same.  really nice!

My son was able to get a contractor friend to procure some of the commercial grade stuff for his 3-Car garage.  I helped him and his friends apply the coating.  It was a lot of effort to prep and to get down correctly and leveled in the short working time.  I see why they recommend having professionals do it.  Looks great though.  I would like to do my hangar but 2,500  sq ft of that stuff is expensive!  Lee

We talked to several contractors...  some do all sorts of things, not just epoxy floors.  I ended up using a company that specializes in concrete finishes.  We talked about various processes like polished concrete, but ended up with a high solids content epoxy product which is only slightly more expensive than gold.

I'll give a full review in 20 years.

Lee, my floor is 2500 sq ft.

I'll send you Gus' address. We'll split the hangar.

Wow that is really tremendous.  Very sharp!  I have the stuff they sell at Lowe’s and it better than concrete, but nothing like that

Well played, Gus!

I had to use the "like" emoji since there is not a "green with envy" one....

That is beautiful.

"For just pennies a day you could make a difference in a Mooney childs life...(me)  ...adopt a pilot child and bring joy to a poor pilots life today"  (still me)     Daaaad,  I promise to love your new floor, feed it wax, pet it all the time with a new broom, and clean it and love it ....   I promise !!    

Beautiful job.. so when's the fly in pilot breakfast ??

At my age, definitely mirror under the Mooney.
